The experiences and suffering of a band of Greek soldiers during the 1939-45 war.

With Greece already under German occupation during the cold spring of 1941, a long-suffering squad of proud and war-battered Greek soldiers receives orders from the headquarters of the Central Military Command in Athens to fall back, leaving behind the Greco-Albanian Front. As the men retreat--crossing through the rugged and snow-covered landscapes of the bomb-scarred Greek countryside--the terrifying certainty that nothing will ever be the same again crushes the weary human souls, blemished forever by war's madness. Under those circumstances--severely wounded, yet still alive--most of them will never return home. Will the sky be blue again?—Nick Riganas
