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.

Excerpt from Italy and the World War How can a reasonably just picture be given of a country whose capital is Rome and whose roads stretching north and south therefrom were built by and bear the names to day of a decemvir and of a consul who was slain by Hanni bal, Without taking into account the continuity of its people and the causes which have contributed thereto The fol lowing anecdote may serve to illustrate this idea.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
