Book Synopsis

An Italian SCHINDLER''S LIST, this is the inspirational story of Gino Bartali, who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and secretly aided the Italian Resistance during the Second World War.

ROAD TO VALOUR is the inspiring, against-the-odds story of Gino Bartali, the cyclist who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and still holds the record for the longest gap between victories. Yet it was his actions during the Second World War, when he secretly aided the Resistance, rather than his remarkable exploits on a bike, that truly cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Italian people.

Based on nearly ten years of research, and including fascinating new interviews, this is the only book written that fully explores the scope of Bartali''s wartime work. A breathtaking account of one man''s unsung heroism and his resilience in the face of adversity, this is an epic tale of courage, comeback and redemption, and the untold story o
