In November 1944, Sub Lt Bob Clark, a twenty-year old agent with Britain's top-secret Special Operations Executive, parachuted into northern Italy. He left behind the girl he had fallen in love with, Marjorie, his radio operator.
Captured by the enemy, Bob's fate hangs in the balance and Marjorie won't know for six months whether he is alive or dead.
Monopoli Blues recounts the story of Tim Clark's journey to uncover the story of his parents' war - and the truth behind the betrayal of his father's Clarion mission to the Nazis...
"Monopoli Blues puts the big picture in perspective. It is a detailed and intimate account of the Second World War drama as it affected two individuals who are in love and who are separated by the conflict. The story is the more powerful for being told by their son, Tim Clark. His assiduous search uncovers the drama and danger of facing a British agent who is betrayed and captured by the Nazis and whose girlfriend has no clue what has happened to him. This is the reality of war behind the headlines." - Jonathan Dimbleby
