———
TUSCANY, 1944. German soldiers arrive at a villa on the outskirts of Florence to interrogate the cousin of the world’s most famous scientist. Hours later, innocent civilians are dead and the troops have vanished.
Weaving together first-hand testimony, unpublished material and original interviews, Thomas Harding tells a dramatic story of vengeance - and of one family’s personal torment - as Nazi forces made a last brutal stand ahead of impending Allied liberation.
