The inspiring, against-the-odds story of Gino Bartali, the cyclist who made the greatest comeback in Tour de France history and secretly aided the Italian resistance during World War II

Gino Bartali is best known as an Italian cycling legend who not only won the Tour de France twice but also holds the record for the longest time span between victories. In Road to Valor, Aili and Andres McConnon chronicle Bartali's journey, from an impoverished childhood in rural Tuscany to his first triumph at the 1938 Tour de France. As World War II ravaged Europe, Bartali undertook dangerous activities to help those being targeted in Italy, including sheltering a family of Jews and smuggling counterfeit identity documents in the frame of his bicycle. After the grueling wartime years, the chain-smoking, Chianti-loving, 34-year-old underdog came back to win the 1948 Tour de France, an exhilarating performance that helped unite his fractured homeland.
Based on nearly ten years of research, Road to Valor is the first book ever written about Bartali in English and the only book written in any language to explore the full scope of Bartali's wartime work. An epic tale of courage, resilience, and redemption, it is the untold story of one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century.

Great bag!
Color: Black
I needed a black patent leather bag for an event and this was perfect! It is so pretty and classy! I actually changed the chain to something else that I had which made it a bit dressier, but overall this was a great purchase for the price. You can use it as a clutch but the chain was helpful to hang on the back of a chair. The only downside for me was the size, only because I wear glasses. I used a small "going out" wallet, had my car keys, phone, lipstick and glasses and that all fit, but it was tight. For a wedding or something when I won't have my car keys with me, it will be fine. Overall this was a great purchase, and arrive in a day!!

Lovely purse.
Color: Leopard, Color: Leopard
I was so pleased when I received this purse! It also has a Gold shoulder chain inside. I had previously ordered some shoes of this print. It was a perfect match! If you wear leopard prints, you understand. That was just lucky! AND I found a corsage! All from Amazon.
