Vic DiMartino's Debut Novel 'Escapes' is a Historical Account of a Life of Struggle and Resilience in the Midst of War.
Recently released 'Escapes' from Covenant Books by author Vic DiMartino is a heartrending narrative that reveals the strength of humanity in the face of both World Wars.
NEW YORK, June 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) - DiMartino, an Army draftee during the Vietnam War later had a career in executive positions, and recently completed his new book, “Escapes”: an avant-garde opus of history and war that impacted the lives of his family.
Vic writes, “Italians blame their weak leaders and demand their overthrow. Mussolini steps onto the political stage and his populist views and spirited charisma captivate the country. Arturo joins Mussolini’s political campaign and begins a long political career under the Fascist Regime. Rewarded for his loyalty and political instinct, the National Fascist Party appoints him to the most powerful office in Sicily’s Trapani Province.
But, when Il Duce tries to expand Italy's influence through military force, Arturo pushes back. His resistance starts a series of perilous events. The Blackshirts, Mussolini’s enforcers, issue an ultimatum—leave Italy or die.
Three generations of the family face one crisis after another. From life-threatening and near-death experiences to unwavering love and humorous episodes, Escapes is an insight into the tenacity and resilience of humans. Based on a true story, it also exposes little-known facts about Italy's role in ending WWI and why the Great War’s aftermath led Italy to side with Germany in WWII.”
