About this book
From headquarters near Venice in January 1918, Camillo De Carlo looks back on the Italian retreat and the renewed resistance along the Piave. Writing as an army officer and aviator, he connects the military situation with his own family's departure from their home. His account carries strong Italian patriotic feeling, with memories of exhausted troops, threatened villages, and the personal cost of giving up familiar ground.
On mountain roads, the narrator and a soldier seek rest and food while trying to avoid discovery. A passing battalion, an unwelcoming householder, and a vineyard worker bring the dangers and shortages of occupied territory into focus. These encounters give the narrative a scale that maps and battle summaries cannot supply.
