Fey's War by Catherine Bailey (Penguin Books UK)

Partly memoir, partly very well documented book about WWII, griping story of Fey Pirzio Birolli and her family. 

Despite their noble origin and good connections to high ranked nazis and partisans in Italy they weren't spared in the war. When an assassination (her father was one of conspirators) attempt of Hitler fails and her husband is underground in Rome, Fey and her sons are picked up by the SS. Children were sent away, their names changed, and she went through a calvary, prison, camps etc. 

The book is full of historical facts, and really interesting. 

I liked it.
