Focusing on a unique military unit, the book explores the "Leonessa" group of the Italian Social Republic, known for its operational prowess in anti-partisan efforts. Emerging from the 1st Armored Division "M" before the Armistice, this unit comprised personnel loyal to Mussolini. Following Italy's surrender, they faced challenges as their equipment was seized by the Germans. However, a faction of the division's members chose to continue fighting alongside the Germans, seeking weapons and tanks to sustain their cause in a tumultuous wartime landscape.
