La Grande Guerra non ha eroi. I protagonisti non sono re, imperatori, generali. Sono fanti contadini, i nostri nonni.

Attraverso lettere, diari di guerra, testimonianze, conduce nell'abisso del dolore. Eppure, sia il racconto di una sofferenza che oggi non riusciamo a immaginare, sia le tante storie a lieto fine restituiscono la stessa idea: la Grande Guerra fu la prima sfida dell'Italia unita; e fu vinta.
