From the Inside Flap:

IN SEARCH OF PEACE
From one of the world's most beloved writers comes this wise, poignant, and compassionate memoir of a soldier who returned to the scene of battle. In 1953 Farley Mowat and his wife travelled from London to Italy in a claret-colored Hillman convertible, revisiting the sites that Mowat had first seen as an infantryman during the nightmare of World War II. What he found was a land that was--after so many years of misery, tragedy, and destruction--overwhelmingly and energetically embracing life, nature, and hope. He met former French resistance fighters, battle-scarred veterans, and ordinary men and women who told him the stories only inhabitants of a war zone can tell: stories of the evils of war and the courage, sacrifice, and nature of human endurance. Aftermath: Travels in a Post-War World is vintage Mowat: powerful, moving, and unfailingly entertaining.
