About the Author
Eric Newby was born in London in 1919. In 1938, he joined the four-masted Finnish barque Moshulu as an apprentice and sailed in the last Grain Race from Australia to Europe, by way of Cape Horn. During World War II, he served in the Black Watch and the Special Boat Section. In 1942, he was captured and remained a prisoner-of-war until 1945. He subsequently married the girl who helped him to escape, and for the next fifty years, his wife Wanda was at his side on many adventures. After the war, he worked in the fashion business and book publishing but always travelled on a grand scale, sometimes as the Travel Editor for the Observer. He was made CBE in 1994 and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the British Guild of Travel Writers in 2001. Eric Newby died in 2006.

Love and War in the Apennines
Seller: Chapter Two Books, Ammanford, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. First Edition. Love and War in the Apennines by Eric Newby is one of the finest and most moving memoirs to emerge from the Second World War. First published in 1971, it recounts Newby's experiences as a young British soldier captured in Italy in 1942. Following the Italian armistice in September 1943, he escaped from a prisoner-of-war camp and spent many months hiding in the Apennine Mountains of northern Italy. During this perilous period he was sheltered by Italian villagers who risked imprisonment or execution to protect him from German forces. Central to the story is his relationship with Wanda Skof, a young Italian woman who helped conceal him and who later became his wife. Combining adventure, humour, romance, and gratitude, the book is both a wartime memoir and a tribute to courage, kindness, and human decency under extraordinary circumstances. First Edition.
