Description
War changes and often harms not only its combatants but also its eyewitnesses. The war correspondents whose job it is to get as close as possible to war, report what they see and survive to tell about it, haven unique job. Neither victims nor killers, they risk injury and death while struggling against those who would censor their truth. It is often a frustrating profession and one that can destroy its best and bravest. This is a story about one such war correspondent, who volunteered for one of the most dangerous assignments of World War II. Paul Morton was a reporter for the prominent Canadian newspaper the Toronto Star. On a mission initiated by the British government with Prime Minister Winston Churchill's express approval, Morton parachuted behind Nazi lines in Northern Italy with the British Army to report on the guerilla war being fought by Italian Partisans against the German occupation. Morton not only reported on the Partisans' war, but to stay alive wound up fighting it as well, pursued by German army units that dwarfed their little guerilla bands.
