Forgotten battles : Italy's war of liberation, 1943-1945

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 story of relatively unacknowledged Italian partisan formations that fought in Italy, France, Yugoslavia, and Greece.
