A complete and authoritative account of Britain's secret war in Italy during World War II—a potent mix of military history and clandestine derring-do behind enemy lines. Based on recently released official files, documents retrieved from other agencies, diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews, this book provides the definitive account of Britain's secret war in Italy—the heroic exploits, the larger than life participants, and the extraordinary, against-the-odds achievements. In May 1945 Italy was liberated from Nazism and Fascism by the British Eighth and American Fifth Armies.
