Description
This book records the history of the 50,000 Italian prisoners of war who were captured in North Africa during WWII and shipped to the United States as POWs.
The text is more than 50 percent oral history, based largely on interviews with nearly 50 former POWs, their friends and families, and the U.S. civilian and military personnel who worked with them.
Every individual interviewed has a colorful, vivid, emotional story to tell of his experience with bullets and bombs, with the dead and the dying, and about the trauma of captivity.
