The NewYorkTimes wrote of Love and War that "His memoir of that time became one of his most acclaimed books". [3] Everyone he encounters is, quite understandably, scared to death. A friendly doctor drops him off at a safe house, but, the moment the doctor has gone, the owner tells Newby that he will have to go. I am afraid of the Germans. I am afraid of the Fascists.

Anyway, enough of ranting. This has been a long-winded way of saying, Newby has impressed me. Set in Italy during the War, his capture, and subsequent escape, Newby has written a compelling novel. His voice is perfectly balanced. In fact, I got the impression that he rarely used the word 'I', though he probably did. A large portion of the novel is spent describing Italy in a travel-writing fashion, and the characters he meets. The moments where Newby does talk, I like him. I think he would have been great to have a cup of tea with: witty, sensitive, the old style English gentleman. The writing was brilliant and his journey, though real, was fantastic to read.

Travel writer John Gimlette, writing in The Guardian, comments that "For sheer charm, there's nothing quite like Eric Newby's Love and War in the Apennines." [5] He adds that while it is plainly a celebration of Italy, "At a more profound level, it's a beautifully philanthropic yet unsentimental work. However miserable the times and awkward the place, Newby's characters are usually endearing, and often complex."

Half comedy, half romance, the story is simple and unambiguous. The 'atmosfera' is warm and sunny, and the various stereotypes (the desperately unorganized or romantic Italians, the serious stern-looking Germans and the phlegmatic and pragmatic British), although unoriginal, are still humorous. Nicola Piovani's musical score also adds to the Mediterranean flavour.

This is an extraordinary account of Eric Newby's survival as a prisoner of War in Italy during World War II. More importantly it is the story of the heroic generosity of the Italian peasants who secretly, and at great personal risk, sheltered the released prisoners after the armistice in 1943, but before the end of the war. The Germans were still fighting the allies in Italy and the Fascists declared death for anyone who aided former POWs. It is also a a story of a time and a sensibility so removed from our own that one wonders if we are better or worse for all our vaunted technology.
