Descriptive, and informative, yet never shallow this is a very good account of the brutality of war and how difficult this part of the war was for Italy and all the people involved. The only problem is here aren't enough maps and they aren't always adequately labelled. It's the only criticism but it is quite noticeable. L'autore tratta della guerra di resistenza negli anni 1944-45. Mentre in Europa il conflitto si andava consumando tra alleati e tedeschi, in Italia migliaia di civili innocenti cercavano di sopravvivere agli orrori messi in atto dalle truppe naziste e fasciste, dando vita a quelli che conosciamo come i partigiani. A very good history of the Italian Campaign based on the interwoven personal accounts of soldiers, officers, civilians and partisans. There is at least one account for each of the various nations involved with the exception of Brazil and the Russian auxilliaries. Very readable and one of the few books on the subject to deal with the war's effect on the Italian civilians. I just wish that it had more on the RSI units, but that book still needs to be written/translated. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"Although known as a land of beauty and for the richness of its culture, Italy's suffering in 1944-1945 is now largely forgotten. This is the first account of the conflict there to tell the story from all sides and to include the experiences of soldiers and civilians alike. Offering extensive original research, it weaves together the drama and tragedy of that terrible year, including new perspectives and material on some of the most debated episodes to have emerged from World War II."--BOOK JACKET.

Holland wisselt geregeld van perspectief tussen hoge legeraanvoerders en gewone soldaten langs beide zijden. Het siert hem dat hij oog heeft voor zowel helden- als gruweldaden, ook langs beide zijden (hoewel toch meer gruwel door represailles van terugtrekkende Duitse troepen). Op die manier blijft zijn relaas telkens boeien en vervalt het nergens tot een droge opsomming van wapenfeiten. Holland heeft ook heel wat oog voor het lijden van de burgerbevolking in dit gruweljaar. Maar zijn focus ligt daarbij vooral op de in het oog springende feiten van terreur tegen burgers. Wie meer wil weten over het dagelijkse leven van de Italianen tijdens de oorlog kijkt best even bij de aanbevelingen bij dit boek. ( )
