This book has been one of the most profoundly enlightening book that I have come across. Reading about Peno Lela, and his surviving the war - left me humble and brought about paradigm shift in the way I viewed life. Having completed the book, I am profoundly grateful that I had the good fortune to be born during the times of relative peace in the world. This book is a must read to anyone who is looking for a heart-wrenching story about a young man who endured the second great war and its hardships. Mark T. Sullivan has done a marvelous job of telling a very complex and gut wrenching story in such a way - that you can't help but fall in love with the narrative and go along with the roller-coaster ride of Peno's life.

This book just kept getting better and better as it went on. It's based on the true story of Pino Lella, a 17 year-old who led Jews out of northern Italy through the Alps to safety during World War II. He also became a spy for the Italian Resistance by becoming a driver for the head of the Nazi High Command in Italy. Pino witnessed the unimaginable. Beneath the Scarlet Sky is a remarkable story of courage, love, and the will to survive. 5-stars!
