"LOVE AND WAR IN THE APENNINES" Eric Newby; When the Italian Armistice was sign- ed in 1943, Eric Newby left the prison camp in which he had been held for a year and made his way through the forests and mountains south of the Po River". (with permission) Kayak-related, as he was a folbot-borne Brit commando comically invading Italy. Despite the title, I don't think anybody even gets killed in it. The love part is him meeting his future bride. One of my favorite travel writers. Also "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush" (he was one of the first 'modern' Europeans there). Excellent, but kayakless. A dear, sweet, self-effacing, funny guy. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
