Features: This book is based on a true story. From September 28 to October 1, 1943, over a four-day period, a mere three hundred Italian street orphans fought a thrilling and brutal battle against the German armored division (which was tasked with completely destroying Naples). These boys, along with a few girls, only had primitive weapons, and their arsenal was nothing more than street tricks. Yet, they fought bravely and tenaciously. Street Boys portrays these homeless children with great empathy, depicting how the violence of the war that was not theirs became their only way out. The youngest among them was only seven years old, and the oldest was just thirteen. Yet, no one could have imagined that these children who seemed unlikely to become fighters would become heroes of World War II. This book is based on a true story.
