Eric Newby - 50 year anniversary of Love & War in the Apennines | Monte San Martino Trust

The travel writer Eric Newby's memoir Love and War in the Apennines was first published in 1971 and has been in print ever since. The book tells the dramatic story of Newby's capture in Sicily in 1942, while on a commando raid, his time as a prisoner of war in Italy and on the run in the autumn of 1943 after the Italian armistice. He wrote the book as a tribute to the Italian people who risked their lives to assist him.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the book's first publication, Nick Young, chair of the Monte San Martino Trust, a charity founded by former British prisoners of war in Italy, hosts a discussion with Eric Newby’s daughter, Sonia Ashmore, and Professor Robert Tregay, who has researched the people and locations Newby describes.
