The Foreign Correspondent
From Alan Furst, whom the New York Times calls "America’s preeminent spy novelist," comes an epic story of romantic love, love of country, and love of freedom—the story of a secret war, fought in elegant hotel bars and first-class railway cars, in the mountains of Spain and the back alleys of Berlin. It is an inspiring, thrilling saga of everyday people, forced by their heart’s passion to fight in the war against tyranny.
By 1938, hundreds of Italian intellectuals, lawyers and journalists, university professors and scientists, had escaped Mussolini’s fascist government and fled to Paris. There, amidst the struggles of émigré life, they founded an Italian resistance, with an underground press that smuggled news and encouragement back to Italy. Fighting fascism with typewriters, they produced five hundred and twelve clandestine newspapers. The Foreign Correspondent is their story.
