reviewed hour-long television pieces. This audiobook uses these programmes as the starting point to tell the story of Alan Whicker's remarkable war. Alan Whicker joined the Army Film and Photo Unit as an eighteen-year-old army officer, following the Allied advance through Italy, from Sicily to Venice.

He filmed the troops on the front line, met Montgomery, and other military luminaries, filmed the battered body of Mussolini after his execution and accepted the surrender of the SS in Milan.

This is remarkable account of the Italian campaign of 1943 and 1944 as he retraces of his steps over sixty years later. Beautifully written, poignant with humour and pathos this is a masterful audiobook by one of the 20th centuries greatest TV journalists.
