What Members Thought

Although tedious at times, this story about the resistance movement in Italy under Nazi occupation, as seen through the eyes of a young boy, ultimately leaves you with the sad knowledge that in war there are no heroes. Only ordinary people, scoundrels, pimps, whores, cowards, traitors, and occasionally generous souls, each with their own burden to carry.
