Extrait de la préface de Max Salvadori du livre "The Bandits of Cisterna" by Pickering-Hart: When the 'chute opened and the fall became a measured descent, silence was complete in the darkness of the starry night. The mind raced, summarizing the past, planning for the immediate future. This was the 66th month of the war - last chapter for me in the exhausting twenty-odd years of anti-fascist militancy in countries of three continents. [...] War was now getting close to the end but there was still much to do, plenty of time to die. All contributed to VE and VJ Day [...] - the likes of S.O.E. personnel of all ranks who died while helping Resistance fighters, of Bill Pickering who miraculously survived and whom we thank for having given us this truthful account of his war experiences.
Extrait de l’introduction de Alan Hart: And so it was [to coordinate a courageous resistance to the Nazis occupying continental Europe] that at 2 o'clock on a crisp, moonlit morning on 4 February, 1945, six men of the S.O.E. parachuted 100 miles behind enemy lines into the Piedmont province of Italy. The secret six came from Britain, Ireland, the U.S.A., South Africa and Italy. Their orders were to link up with a group of Partisans known and feared by the Nazis as 'The Bandits of Cisterna'.
