Book, In the late summer of 1943, when Italy broke with the Germans and joined the Allies after suffering catastrophic military losses, an Italian Resistance was born. Four young Piedmontese women Ada, Frida, Silvia and Bianca living secretly in the mountains surrounding Turin, risked their lives to overthrow Italys authoritarian government.
