Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Italians came to the US between 1880 and the eve of World War I. As many as 300,000 of them served in the United States military during the war. Tens of thousands of Calabrians--inhabitants of Calabria, the region that makes up the toe of the Italian boot--came to America in the this so-called Great Migration. Thousands of them served in the US military during that war, and until now no effort has been made to document their history. Historian Peter L Belmonte has written four volumes documenting the military history of over 800 men from the Cosenza area. In this fifth volume, he presents the total of his work on men from the Province of Cosenza, including those featured in previous volumes, in an abbreviated list format.The list contains the names of more than 2,300 men from the Province of Cosenza who served in the U.S. military during World War I. For each man, the list contains name, rank, serial number, unit or organization, home of record, and information as to whether a man was wounded, and other information. Readers will be able to use this list to further their own research.By examining the service of these men, this book lays the foundation for further studies of Italian immigrant soldiers in general, and Calabrians specifically. Their military history highlights the role of the US military; they served in every type of unit from stateside camps to the trenches of France and even to the Siberian wasteland. Many of the men suffered life-changing wounds; others were killed in action.

Download or read book United States Army Depot Brigades in World War I written by Alexander F. Barnes and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the exploits of the American Expeditionary Forces, the men and women sent overseas to fight during World War I, but much less is known about the two million who served in the Army without ever setting foot on foreign soil. This book examines the history of depot brigades, development battalions, U.S. Guards units, Students' Army Training Corps, and other "forgotten" troops charged with training soldiers, guarding installations, and performing myriad other duties. It also chronicles the service of men like actor Jimmy Cagney, author F. Scott Fitzgerald, movie director Frank Capra, children's author Ludwig Bemelmans, and the two million others who served in the United States during the war. At the time, many of these men considered themselves unfortunate cast-offs, doomed to spend the war safe at home while their friends served in combat overseas. But, in the end, it was largely because of them that America could field an effective fighting force.
Download or read book Italian Americans in World War II written by Peter L. Belmonte and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the first-hand accounts and stories of Italian World War II Veterans who answered the call to serve their country, despite being deemed Enemy Aliens by their own government. At the beginning of World War II, Italian citizens living in the United States were referred to as Enemy Aliens. Yet hundreds of young Italian Americans flocked to recruiting stations, and over 500,000-perhaps as many as 1.5 million-served in the military during the war. Despite the difficulties they faced, including the possibility of having to fight against Italians, countless Italian Americans received decorations for bravery, fourteen of whom received the Medal of Honor. Italian Americans in World War II offers their stories, which, for the most part, have yet to be told. Belmonte interviewed almost 50 Italian-American veterans of World War II, from all branches and types of service. Stories of daily life, food, equipment, and training from soldiers, sailors, and airmen are captured. You'll read personal tales about how survivors of D-Day, Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Okinawa, and The Battle of the Bulge felt about entering combat. This fitting tribute also includes photographs from this period in history, bringing the men's stories to life.

Download or read book Sicily and the Surrender of Italy written by Lieutenant Albert Garland and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Includes maps) This volume, the second to be published in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations subseries, takes up where George F. Howe's Northwest Africa: Seizing the Initiative in the West left off. It integrates the Sicilian Campaign with the complicated negotiations involved in the surrender of Italy. The Sicilian Campaign was as complex as the negotiations, and is equally instructive. On the Allied side it included American, British, and Canadian soldiers as well as some Tabors of Goums; major segments of the U.S. Army Air Forces and of the Royal Air Force; and substantial contingents of the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy. Opposing the Allies were ground troops and air forces of Italy and Germany, and the Italian Navy. The fighting included a wide variety of operations: the largest amphibious assault of World War II; parachute jumps and air landings; extended overland marches; tank battles; precise and remarkably successful naval gunfire support of troops on shore; agonizing struggles for ridge tops; and extensive and skillful artillery support. Sicily was a testing ground for the U.S. soldier, fighting beside the more experienced troops of the British Eighth Army, and there the American soldier showed what he could do. The negotiations involved in Italy's surrender were rivaled in complexity and delicacy only by those leading up to the Korean armistice. The relationship of tactical to diplomatic activity is one of the most instructive and interesting features of this volume. Military men were required to double as diplomats and to play both roles with skill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By training his eye on the ways that people outside the halls of power reacted to the rapid onset and escalation of the fighting in 1914, Neiberg dispels the notion that Europeans were rabid nationalists intent on mass slaughter. He reveals instead a complex set of allegiances that cut across national boundaries.
