| Summary: |
This book explores how the trial of the entire military command of the Nazi power structure in Italy, prepared by the Allies following the Nuremberg mode, came to be replaced by a few contradictory trials of very minor significance. This resulted in an enormous historical misrepresentation of the Nazi occupation of Italy. 'A short book and yet it is comprehensive. It is original in its topic and in the combination of sources and yet it is closely related to the growing literature in the field. Thus, it will right away find its niche in the ongoing debate while filling an important void in it.' - Marta Petrusewicz, Professor at Hunter College, USA 'A very fine book - Battini (is) a historian of ideas' - Paul Ginsborg, Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of Florence, Italy, and Palgrave author of Italy and its Discontents: Family, Civil Society, State. |
