The Sand Against the Wind
Book Description: Churchill called it a Renaissance tragedy. Indeed, before Count Ciano's execution by Mussolini, his father-in-law, now head of the Italian Social Republic, only two women attempted his rescue. His wife, Edda, who defied her father, and a female Nazi secret agent, Frau Betz, who loved him. Between history and fiction, in the struggle for Ciano's life and his diaries, an indictment of Hitler and Ribbentrop's treacheries, is also the son of a cockney musician and a Roman noblewoman. Carlo Rufus Williams, a cavalry major, a letterato, and a broadcaster in civilian life, joins the Resistance after King Victor Emmanuel III and the Italian warlords abandon Rome to the brutality of the German forces. With sensuous, leftist, aristocratic Mirta della Rovere, he fights back until a street attack provokes a Nazi massacre in reprisal.
