| italian swords to plowshares: Italy Invades Christopher Kelly, Stuart Laycock, 2015-11-03 Italy Invades, full of restless adventurers, canny generals, and the occasional scoundrel, is a fast-paced and compelling read, the perfect sequel to America Invades. Recreating their success with America Invades, Christopher Kelly and Stuart Laycock take another global tour, this time starting from Italy and exploring that country's military involvements throughout the ancient and modern worlds. From the empire building of the Romans, through the globe-spanning Age of Exploration, to the multinational cooperation of NATO, Italy has conquered and explored countries as diverse and far-ranging as Cape Verde and Mongolia and Uruguay. With the additional guide of maps and photographs, the reader can visually follow the Italians as they conquer the world. The book also contains an excerpt from the never before published An Adventure in 1914, written by Christopher Kelly's maternal great-grandfather, Thomas Tileston Wells. Wells served as the American consul general to Romania each summer; and in the summer of 1914, as war exploded across Europe, he was there with his wife and two children. |
| italian swords to plowshares: For Love and Country Patrick J. Gallo, 2003 During World War II resistance movements arose in all countries occupied by fascist and Nazi forces. Many people are startled to learn that there was a resistance movement in Italy. Most accounts by American scholars concentrate on the resistance in Central and Northern Italy and summarily dismiss the South. For Love and Country has as it's focus the resistance movement in Lazio and in particular Rome. The author, Patrick Gallo, argues that a well-organized and mass-based resistance movement developed in Lazio. He contends that the Rome-based resistance not only undermined German morale but also achieved important strategic objectives. This study is based on a series of in-depth interviews with the men and women who took part in the resistance in Lazio. Gallo analyzes the motivation of those who joined the resistance and their political, military and strategic roles in the movement. With the drama of war and Nazi occupation as a backdrop, the author paints a vivid picture of the life of a partisan. |
| italian swords to plowshares: Drafting Italy Marco Rovinello, 2023-05-23 This is the first comprehensive history of conscription and the military in Italy from the Restoration to the eve of WWI. The comparative and transnational approach enables this work to compare and contrast the Italian experience with that of many other countries in the world as well as understand transfers and the adaptive and imitative processes that emerge when conscription and the military are viewed from an Italian perspective. Peacetime and wartime recruitment, military life, culture, justice and civil-military relationships are analysed using a wide range of sources and an interdisciplinary approach that combines top-down and bottom-up perspectives. This enables the book not only to assess the contribution the military has made to the country in terms of state-building, nation building, modernization, pedagogical and disciplinary models, gender identity and roles, but also to reconsider the standard taxonomies as well as some established evolutionary models of the armies. Moreover, the Italian military is seen as an internally complex world that is incapable of defining its own one-dimensional identity or of imposing any such identity on its members. Consequently, it is an element in the history of a country that is substantially the same as any other such element and thus important in people’s collective and individual lives whether or not they are in uniform. Rather than being an object of study in and of itself, the military becomes a vantage point from which to observe the Italian history in the long 19th century. Therefore, this book can be profitably read by professional military historians and non-specialist readers interested in the military, as well as by all scholars working on Italian pre- and post-unification political, institutional, socio-economic, cultural and gender history. |

| italian swords to plowshares: Fascist Italy and the League of Nations, 1922-1935 Elisabetta Tollardo, 2016-10-27 This book analyses the relationship between Fascist Italy and the League of Nations in the interwar years. By uncovering the traces of those Italians working in the organization, this volume investigates Fascist Italy’s membership of the League, and explores the dynamics between nationalism and internationalism in Geneva. The relationship between Fascist Italy and the League of Nations was contradictory, shifting from active collaboration to open disagreement. Previous literature has not reflected this oscillation in policy, focusing disproportionally on the problems Italy caused for the League, such as the Ethiopian crisis. Yet Fascist Italy remained in the League for more than fifteen years, and was the third largest power within the institution. How did a Fascist dictatorship fit into an organization espousing principles of liberal internationalism? By using archival sources from four countries, Elisabetta Tollardo shows that Fascist Italy was much more concerned with, and involved in, the League than currently believed. |

| italian swords to plowshares: Our Italian Fellow Citizens in Their Old Homes and Their New Francis Edward Clark, 1919 The purpose in this volume is chiefly to make my readers sympathetically acquainted, so far as I am able, with the Italian of to-day in his old home and his new. For this purpose I have not only studied his history and his achievements in the past, but I have tried through personal acquaintance to understand something of his present viewpoint. In a word, I have sought to introduce him as he is to my fellow Americans who trace their descent from other racial stocks. This volume was largely written in Italy, while the places and people described were freshly in mind--Introd. |
| italian swords to plowshares: The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome Patrick J. Gallo, 2023-02-15 On October 16, 1943, the Jews of Rome were targeted for arrest and deportation. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome examines why—and more importantly how—it could have been avoided, featuring new evidence and insight into the Vatican’s involvement. At the time, Rome was within reach of the Allies, but the overwhelming force of the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS in Rome precluded direct confrontation. Moral condemnations would not have worked, nor would direct confrontation by the Italians, Jewish leadership, or even the Vatican. Gallo underscores the necessity of determining what courses of actions most likely would have spared Italian Jews from the gas chambers. Examining the historical context and avoiding normative or counterfactual assertions, this book draws upon archival sources ranging from diaries to intelligence intercepts in English, Italian, and German. With antisemitism on the rise today and the last remaining witnesses passing away, it is essential to understand what happened in 1943. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome grapples with this particular, awful episode within the larger, horrifying story of the Holocaust. Despite the inadequacy of memory, we must continue to attempt to make sense of the inexplicable. |

| italian swords to plowshares: United States Army in World War Ii Harry L. Coles, Albert K. Weinberg, 1986 A documentary history with brief narrative introductions illustrating the evolution of civil affairs policy and practice in the Mediterranean and European theaters. Most important of all, in World War II soldiers became governors in a much broader sense than ever before—so much more than was foreseen that the Army's specialized training proved scant preparation for perhaps the most important phase of their role. They became not merely the administrators of civilian life for the Army's immediate needs but at the same time the executors and at times even, by force of circumstances, the proposers of national and international political policy. This broader role arose from the fact that in World War II the Allies strove to realize from the very beginning of occupation political aims that had usually not been implemented during war or, if during war at all, not until active hostilities had ended. Thus, in enemy countries civil affairs officials were immediately to extirpate totalitarian governmental and economic systems, in liberated countries they were as soon as possible to aid in restoring indigenous systems and authorities, and in both types of countries they were to make an all-out effort to effect gradual transition toward the envisaged postwar national and international order. |
| italian swords to plowshares: The O.S.S. in Italy, 1942-1945 Max Corvo, 1990 Using a wealth of information from recently declassified documents as well as his extensive collection of personal papers, Corvo presents the only truly authoritative study of the O.S.S. Corvo, who was chief of O.S.S. operations in Italy during the Italian campaign, effectively sets the record straight and offers a detailed picture of the work of the Italian Secret Intelligence Section, its relationship to other parts of the intelligence community, and the impact of its operations on postwar U.S.-Italian relations. Because of the restricted status of most Office of Strategic Service documents, postwar studies of the O.S.S. in World War II have been based more on speculation and hearsay than on fact. Using a wealth of information from recently declassified documents as well as his extensive collection of personal papers, Corvo presents the only truly authoritative treatment of the subject yet published. The author, who was chief of O.S.S. operations in Italy during the Italian campaign, effectively sets the record straight and offers a detailed picture of the work of the Italian Secret Intelligence Section, its relationship to other parts of the intelligence community, and the impact of its operations on postwar U.S.-Italian relations. He corrects the many misconceptions, distortions, and historical errors that have resulted from a lack of information about specific O.S.S. operations and reveals and describes several operations that remained altogether secret for four decades. Corvo examines the challenges faced by O.S.S. Director William J. Donovan, including pressures arising from the jealousy of competing intelligence services and the extraordinary demands placed on his organization by high military and diplomatic officials. The conduct of field operations is discussed, together with prior intelligence planning, recruitment, and training of O.S.S. personnel in the United States. The author considers the contributions of other branches such as Special Operations, X-2, research and analysis, maritime units, and commando-type operational groups, as well as the crucial collaboration between O.S.S. and Italian underground forces. Biographical sketches of Italian resistance leaders are supplied. The first full and accurate account of the O.S.S. operations, methods, and strategies that were to serve as a blueprint for military intelligence in every theater of the war, this book adds significantly to our knowledge of World War II, and will be of interest to scholars in that field and to specialists in military history, military intelligence, and related areas. |

| italian swords to plowshares: Classical Literature and Learning in Medieval Irish Narrative Ralph O'Connor, 2014 This edited volume will make a major contribution to our appreciation of the importance of classical literature and learning in medieval Ireland, and particularly to our understanding of its role in shaping the content, structure and transmission of medieval Irish narrative. Dr Kevin Murray, Department of Early and Medieval Irish, University College Cork. From the tenth century onwards, Irish scholars adapted Latin epics and legendary histories into the Irish language, including the Imtheachta Aeniasa, the earliest known adaptation of Virgil's Aeneid into any European vernacular; Togail Tro , a grand epic reworking of the decidedly prosaic history of the fall of Troy attributed to Dares Phrygius; and, at the other extreme, the remarkable Merugud Uilixis meic Leirtis, a fable-like retelling of Ulysses's homecoming boiled down to a few hundred lines of lapidary prose. Both the Latin originals and their Irish adaptations had a profound impact on the ways in which Irish authors wrote narratives about their own legendary past, notably the great saga T in B C ailnge (The Cattle-Raid of Cooley). The essays in this book explore the ways in which these Latin texts and techniques were used. They are unified by a conviction that classical learning and literature were central to the culture of medieval Irish storytelling, but precisely how this relationship played out is a matter of ongoing debate. As a result, they engage in dialogue with each other, using methods drawn from a wide range of disciplines (philology, classical studies, comparative literature, translation studies, and folkloristics). Ralph O'Connor is Professor in the Literature and Culture of Britain, Ireland and Iceland at the University of Aberdeen.

| italian swords to plowshares: Ike the Soldier Merle Miller, 2018-04-24 From the bestselling author of Plain Speaking and Lyndon comes this “vivid and consistently absorbing record of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s military career” (Kirkus Reviews). Bringing together thousands of hours of interviews with the men and women who were closest to him, Merle Miller has constructed a revealing and personal biography of the man who would become the supreme commander. From his childhood in Kansas to West Point, World War I, and Europe where he led the Allied Forces to a hard-won victory in World War II, Ike the Soldier goes behind the historic battles and into the heart and mind of Ike Eisenhower. Miller has crafted the defining biography on the life of the thirty-fourth president, bringing more depth to the man many thought they knew. His strained relationships with his father, brothers, and son are brought into focus; as well as his love affair with his wife Mamie, and his relationship with Kay Summersby—his driver turned companion and confidante during WWII. “An informed and balanced tribute to a world-class leader whose remarkable character gains greater luster with the passage of time.” —Kirkus Reviews “This is a highly enjoyable look at Ike’s personal and official relationships with the people most important to him during the first 55 years of his life, including family, Army and Allied colleagues and heads of state.” —Publishers Weekly |
