About this product

Product Information

This volume takes issue with the, apparently, prevalent attitude among Allied commanders during World War II that the Italian military was ineffective. It recounts the little known story of the significant contribution of relatively unacknowledged Italian partisan formations that fought in Italy, France, Yugoslavia, and Greece. Despite fighting on the frontlines with the British and American soldiers, or their service in the Italian Navy and Air Force, the Allies refused repeated Italian pleas for more involvement in combat.
