"The Sky is Red is a war book, but one in which there are no battles, no politics, and no speeches.  It has nothing to say about patriotism or rivalries of nations and classes.  It is just about people -- the survivors in a bombed Italian town -- and the way they patch up the wreckage of their lives and on on:  hoping living, and living" (dust jacket blurb).
