Summary: Historical facts about the war finally revealed
Comment: This is a fascinating account detailing one of WWII's fiercest
but often neglected units by English speaking Historians.

We learn about the commando units successes, failures and challenges it faced in the theatre of WWII.

From the detailed insights given into this formidable Italian fighting unit as well as first hand accountss into the political and logistical challenges that the Italian commandos faced during it's involvement in the war, the reader can finally learn about the many episodes of Italian victories which never made it into English print.

And has been until now for homefront propanganda purposes
intentionally kept out of English /American history books.

Those who belittled Italian military contributions during WWII should read this book it goes a long way into exploding mistruths/misconceptions which many not privy to war texts in other languages may have had regarding the Italian Military.

For those interested in a deeper understanding of Italian fighting units/commandos and Italian acts of War valour this book finally redresses many inaccuracies found in far too many poorly researched stereotypically biased essays released in the English language that replaced and omitted important historical facts due to an agenda of propaganda.

This volume should be required reading for all historian and student alike - a brilliant work overall that vindicates Italy's poorly equipped but heroic WWII commando unit.

Summary: The true about Italians in the II war
Comment: It is historically correct and witten by one of the protagonist, but this book deserve a special attention because it tells a lot about the character of the italian people, in a war they found themselves totally unprepared, in spite to the decision to engage it. Nevertheless the spirit of inventive, fantasy and individuality made out some remarkable points in light of the extremely scarce resources.
