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 My Italian Year written by Joseph Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 322 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 diver sion 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 disparage ment that the writer feels for the Italian people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Italy Entered Into the Great War Soon after Victor Emanuel III declared war upon Francis Joseph, May 23, 1915, I was frequently plied with questions by thoughtful Americans as to why Italy had entered into the great European conflict. These questions always carried with them a note of affection and regret that The beautiful country Traversed by the Apennines, bounded by the Alps, and bathed by the sea, should be imperiled, and it also proves that up to the above date nothing which has been published regarding this extraordinary event has been sufficient to give to the greater part of the American public an exact or even an approximate explanation of the causes which determined the intervention of Italy into the butchery which has been terrorizing and ruining the world. I therefore believe it to be my duty to set forth in detail, as succinctly as possible and in a volume (for this cannot be done by word of mouth, in a simple newspaper article, or in a pamphlet), the causes for this much discussed intervention.

Download or read book Italy and the War Classic Reprint written by Jacques Bainville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy and the War War reveals the nations as. They are. It shows where they are strong; it pardons none of their weaknesses. It sheds a harsh light upon their national characteristics, their institutions and governments. The European struggle, by bring ing the great Powers into mutual conflict, and by forcing even the smaller nations to take up a position or to choose a side, will at least have served to increase our knowledge of the human species. The present war provides us with the elements of a prodigious survey of experimental psychology and politics. Observations made of this or that country under such circumstances as the present are likely to lead to a much better knowledge of the absolute reality of things. In the case of Italy I believe we shall never have a better occasion of getting to know her. And at present, to tell the truth, we know very little of her.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britain's Contribution to Victory, Vol. 19 During the earlier part of our participation in this war, most of us were so busy being conscious of the contribution America must make that we thought of scarcely anything else. Perhaps for the time being it was allowable, as we mobilized the physical, moral and spiritual resources of the United States; as we thought of what we must give and of what we must do, perhaps it was allowable that for the time we should forget, at least, that for the time we should cease to emphasize the immortal sacrifice of France, the audacious, splen did daring of Italy, the organized and completely masterful defiance of Great Britain to the foe. Perhaps it was well that just at that time this nation, which had been a series of multitudinous fragments, unorganized into cohesive unity, should have such a compelling sense of the new oneness it had attained, of that spiritual consciousness of American solidarity, that that one experience should fill its mind. Perhaps it is not strange that at that time the fathers who were seeing their sons cross the sea should be busy thinking of that and saying to themselves.

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.

This shows that the quantity of the proportion mentioned of 2461 emigrants per inhabitants (1913) is in reality much superior than at first seems, inasmuch as the phenomenon of immigration reflects nearly the entire mass of individuals economically active and not the totality of the population.2.

Download or read book Bitter Victory written by Carlo D'Este and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bitter Victory illuminates a chapter of World War II that has lacked a balanced, full-scale treatment until now. In recounting the second-largest amphibious operation in military history, Carlo D'Este for the first time reveals the conflicts in planning and the behind-the-scenes quarrels between top Allied commanders. The book explodes the myth of the Patton-Montgomery rivalry and exposes how Alexander's inept generalship nearly wrecked the campaign. D'Este documents in chilling detail the series of savage battles fought against an overmatched but brilliant foe and how the Germans—against overwhelming odds—carried out one of the greatest strategic withdrawals in history. His controversial narrative depicts for the first time how the Allies bungled their attempt to cut off the Axis retreat from Sicily, turning what ought to have been a great triumph into a bitter victory that later came to haunt the Allies in Italy. Using a wealth of original sources, D'Este paints an unforgettable portrait of men at war. From the front lines to the councils of the Axis and Allied high commands, Bitter Victory offers penetrating reassessments of the men who masterminded the campaign. Thrilling and authoritative, this is military history on an epic scale.

It was also of great value to the French and English in the Mediterranean. Had Italy gone with the Teutons, her fleet might have menaced Marseilles and other French ports, and her sub marines would have done great damage to the English and French transports.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Italy Is With the Allies The power of this great national movement has fortunately been directed only to the securing of Italian liberty and not to the oppression of others. No doubt the reason of this is the fortunate fact that no alien race dwells beside the Italian within the boundaries of the Peninsula. There is no one for the Italian to. Oppress. But the result has been the sustained purity and idealism of patriotic emotion there, from the time of Mazzini's Young Italy to our own.
