We'll Meet Again Book

Then again Corti was able to portrait a part of WWII in a way that everyone can understand and be solidary with the pain and fear that soldiers from all countries suffered during this period. After reading The Red Horse and Few Returned: Twenty-Eight Days on the Russian Front, Winter 1942-1943, this book adds important insights into the feelings of the German, Italian, English, Polish and American soldiers during the liberation of Italy after this country stopped the alliance with nazi forces.

I recommend this book also because it is difficult to find literature regarding the last soldiers (German, Polish and Italian) who had to keep fighting for a war that was already lost. Their bravery, honor and loyalty to their countries and mostly their people. While Italian soldiers where trying to free their country from the German troops left inside after calling off their alliance, German soldiers where trying to fight the world (literally). Contemporaneously, Polish soldiers were fighting along with Italy with the hope of having their support to free Poland from both: nazi and sovietic invasions.

As always, Corti offers an easy-to-read piece which teaches you a great deal of values, mostly be grateful for what you didn't have to live: fear, pain, hunger and thirst.
