First sentence: Against the noisy backdrop of an Italian air raid, Donald Darling, a member of British military intelligence stationed in Gibraltar and connected to Room 900, listened in silence as Frenchman Andre Postal-Vinay recounted his treatment at the hands of his German captors, an experience Darling had never expected him to survive.
