The Foreign Correspondent

Trade Paperback

By 1939, thousands of Italian intellectuals, teachers, lawyers, journalists and scientists, had fled Mussolini's fascist government and found refuge in Paris. There, amidst the poverty and difficulty of emigre life, they joined the Italian Resistance, founding an underground press that smuggled news and encouragement back to their lost homeland.

THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT is the story of Carlo Weisz and a handful of anti-fascists - the army officer known as Colonel Ferrara, who fights for a lost cause in Spain, Arturo Salamone, the shrewd leader of a resistance group in Paris and the woman who becomes the love of Weisz's life, herself involved in a doomed resistance underground in Berlin, at the heart of Hitler's Nazi empire.
