This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy and the War IN publishing this volume for the benefit of the Italian Red Cross, the National Association of University Professors has been actuated by the desire to place before the public a further expression of the justice and sanctity of the cause for which Italy is now fighting, and to which the Italian University, proud of the glorious pages inscribed by it in the history of the Risorgimento, has consecrated its entire ardour and faith. With these words the following essays by different writers, originally issued under the title La Nosim Guerra, were introduced not only to the Italian, but also to the French public, and with the like aim they are now given to English readers. The English version has unfortunately suffered from the delay inevitable in translation and publication, during which period the rapid march of events that has taken place, causes some of its contents already to appear belated. Nevertheless, as depicting the reasons, the aims and ambitions with which Italy entered on war, it is hoped' that the little volume may awaken some interest among Italy's Allies.

Download or read book Italy During the World War Classic Reprint written by Salvatore A. Cotillo and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy During the World War The idea of a book meant primarily for Americans and which would gather the living description of the spirit and talk of Italy and her achievements during the war, was bound to appeal to and inspire the high mind of a man whose personality includes these two nations and who, having gone to Italy as an American charged with the work of research and propaganda, felt and understood as an Italian the essence of the events and of the men who were their exponents. Like all truths this book does not appear too late, for the light that has gradually pierced through the public consciousness finds in it a warm affirmation and, above all, a precise and eloquent documentation. A summary of its subject matter would do it but scant justice; it must be read as it is, for nothing else could be effectively substituted for what is written in its pages and nothing can take the place of what is set forth in the last chapter "Lest we forget." Italy is marching forth securely to her future, conscious of having accomplished her full duty towards all, and proud of having again found in her people, those virtues which have always predestined her to be, in the world, a firm and steadfast element of civilization. To Senator Cotillo the merit of his book, to the Americans and all other chosen minds the perusal of it, to the Italians the all-pure satisfaction of having been understood by a mind that has been able to so nobly comprehend and appreciate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy in the War It was an honourable privilege to be permitted to observe, at close range, the young army of an old and famous people, locked in its struggle with a formidable antagonist. Nor could the observer fail to be stirred by these grandiose warlike Operations amid scenes that make so moving an appeal to the historic and artistic imagination carried on as they were under conditions of exceptional and excessive difficulty. Italy has borne the strain with patriotic ardour and high courage, and she has done valuable service to her allies no less than to herself. She has earned the gratitude and respect of the great nations with which she is associated in the vindication of liberty and justice and her well-wishers have good ground to expect that she will emerge from the contest with her national and racial unity complete, and with her political and economic stability more securely established.

Download or read book Italy s Contribution to the Great Victory Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy's Contribution to the Great Victory The writer of the following pages was an official in the American Service, who was stationed in Italy for a year and a half during 1917 and 1918. His duties took him to all parts of Italy, and brought him in contact with all sorts and conditions of men and women of that country. His opportunities for observing and for gathering accurate information were unlimited. He went to Italy a skeptic as to Italy's efficient assistance to the Allied Cause. On his return to America he was shocked to discover the general ignorance of things Italian in his own country, but was gratified to find a strong desire to hear the truth about them. Whenever he talked of Italy, he found interested and sympathetic listeners, who were amazed to learn what he had to disclose. As a result, he was asked to jot down the gist of these conversations, which he has been most willing to do in the hope that thereby he will reach a larger audience. As will be evident, no attempt at literary composition, or an historic essay on Italy's contribution to the war, has been attempted. It is more a connected recital of random conversations, relying upon the vivid impressions burned into his memory by the events narrated, and supplemented by reference to personal letters written at the time to his friends. While frankly and purposely pro-Italian, the writer has sternly resisted any temptation to exaggerate the truth as to facts and conditions, and hopes and believes that he has recorded a just and moderate estimate of Italy's attitude and accomplishments during the Great War.

Download or read book The War Against Germany and Italy written by John C. Hatlem and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Against Germany and Italy: Mediterranean and Adjacent Areas This collection of some five hundred pictures dramatically amplifies the written record of World War II in the Mediterranean Theater and the Middle East. The images freeze in place the soldiers, the weapons, the operations, the geography, and the tenor of the moment. Major General Orlando Ward's Foreword to the first edition (see next page) describes this visual dimension as essential to fully understanding military history. The War/1 gainst Germany and Italy: Mediterranean and Adjacent Areas was one of the first volumes in the United States Anny in World War 11 series, and it has stood the test of time. In its detailed coverage, the book has also served as a useful resource for anyone seeking to illustrate this stage of the war. Although this second edition keeps all the original photographs, captions, and short narrative historical introductions to each section, we have taken sev eral steps to improve the appearance, currency, and utility of the book. We obtained new prints of the photographs to ensure their clarity, replacing the old printing negatives. We also removed outdated references and developed an appendix that provides more detailed information on the sources and cataloging numbers of the photographs to assist those who want to get their own prints. In visually documenting the World War 11 experience, this is an invaluable col lection. In publishing this upgraded edition, we hope to revive and expand the book's effectiveness in promoting an awareness of the determination, courage, and sacrifices of the American soldier in World War 11. Similar second editions of the other two pictorial volumes in the World War series are in preparation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From Italy's War Since I wrote this Preface and the first third Of the book, the winter's leisure has been interrupted by the brief campaign in which the Italians captured men and guns, liberated Trieste and Trento, and forced Austria to surrender. That part Of the book stands as first written, with the alteration or addition of a very few sentences referring to the end Of the war. We have thus, for more than three years, been living in constant daily contact with Italians of all ranks, some times joining their messes, always receiving their orders, discussing points of service with them, loading our ambulances daily with their sick and wounded. Our Unit also had for two years a field hospital for Italian soldiers. These opportunities for intercourse and oh servation have been rendered greater by the confidence with which we have always been treated by the Italian chiefs with whom we came in contact, by the spirit Of hospitality and comradeship in which we have been received by thousands of Italian Officers in the scores Of different divisions that we have served, and by the popularity of our service among the peasant soldiers in the ranks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Italy Is at War In England, at this moment, the question of Home Rule for Ireland was threatening to reach _a violent crisis. In Russia the government was fully occupied in dealing with internal unrest and strikes of obscure origin. In Italy the recent labour troubles were still giving cause for anxiety; moreover, on account of the long and exhausting campaign in Libya and the negli gence of the Italian government, the country was quite unprepared for another war. The moment therefore had clearly arrived for Germany to realize her cherish ed dream of hegemony in Northern Europe, and for Austria to gain that Balkan supremacy which had been snatched from 'her hands by the two Balkan wars.

Download or read book Italy at War Classic Reprint written by Herbert Vivian and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy at War The position and influence of the Papacy afford one of the most interesting topics in Italy to-day, and I have inquired into them with diligence; but after careful reflection I have come to the conclusion that the public interest is best served by making no reference whatever to them during the war. Suffice it to say that there are forty clerical deputies in the Chamber, and the Vatican controls two hundred and eighty seats, whose members must take good care not to offend by voting against religious education or any other proposal of great importance to the Clerical Party. I have sought to emphasise a point of view that is general and increasing in Italy: that it is unworthy of great cities and a great nation to depend unduly on tourists who come to gape idly at noble monuments. But I hope that my neglect of paint and masonry may not be construed as ignorance of the fact that Italy has been the mother of the arts, the torch-bearer of civilisation throughout the dark ages, the creator and giver of all the colours and perfumes and joys still left for dreamers' souls. The point is that, during and after war, Italy must concern herself more particularly with sober, practical matters, such as trade and commerce and the enemy's confusion in every walk of life. Italy saved Europe when she took the civilised side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Book of Italy written by Raffaello Piccoli and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Italy: Under the Auspices of Her Majesty Queen Elena of Italy The chief aim of this book is to help the Italian Soldiers and Sailors Families in the United Kingdom, and the Italian Red Cross, for which the Pro Italia Committee of London has already appealed, in many forms, and with most encouraging results, to the unbounded generosity of the British public. But, by means of this new form of appeal, a further end is served, which though outside the scope of mere work of public assistance, is not outside that of Caritas in the widest meaning of the word. If the present crisis, according to the most earnest hopes of our countries at war, is to produce some good for the world at large and promote the advancement of mankind, the main aspect of such a benefit from the war should surely be a closer intimacy, fostered by knowledge and understanding, among the nations which are now united by community of ideals and of sufferings. The first idea of The Book of Italy was therefore that of a symposium, at which British and Italian writers, artists, and musicians should meet, and interchange their gifts expressing the soul and mutual love of the two nations.

Download or read book My Italian Year written by Joseph Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Italian Year: Observations and Reflections in Italy During the Last Year of the War The writer of these observations and reflections, since childhood a lover of Italy, an admirer of the Italian people, and a frequent visitor to their country, was in the latter part of 1917 assigned to military duty in Italy. He witnessed the remarkable adjustment of the country's internal resistance which took place after the Caporetto disaster, and which blossoming on the Piave in June, 1918, had its fruition in the magnificent victory of the Italian army four months later. The duties of his assignment brought him in close contact with Italians in every walk of life and in every part of the kingdom. Trained by a life of observation, examination and deduction, it was in search of refreshment that the substance of these essays was set down for the entertainment and diversion of one whose thoughts were in Italy, but whose work was in the land that has radiated and reflected the light of liberty to the whole world; the land in which humanity fought its most glorious battle of the nineteenth century, and which to-day is the source of a purifying stream of liberalism in which are being washed the sins of militarism, class, and dynastic privilege. Though some of his statements may seem to disparage certain features of Italian conduct or activity, it is commendation rather than disparagement that the writer feels for the Italian people.

Download or read book The White War written by Mark Thompson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1915, Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire. Nearly 750,000 Italian troops were killed in savage, hopeless fighting on the stony hills north of Trieste and in the snows of the Dolomites. To maintain discipline, General Luigi Cadorna restored the Roman practice of decimation, executing random members of units that retreated or rebelled. With elegance and pathos, historian Mark Thompson relates the saga of the Italian front, the nationalist frenzy and political intrigues that preceded the conflict, and the towering personalities of the statesmen, generals, and writers drawn into the heart of the chaos. A work of epic scale, The White War does full justice to the brutal and heart-wrenching war that inspired Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.
