Values of the African American family Book

Well, first off, the title is deceiving; this is not about Mussolini's fall from power. Rather, this book is about the Italian experience during World War II. Mussolini does appear in the book, but only in-depth at the beginning and end.

This book is not quite academic, but is not an easy read either. What I was hoping for was a book giving a good overview--but not in a scholarly way--of Italy's history during World War II. This book did not meet those expectations. I am not saying this is a bad read, simply that it was not what it appeared to be. I would recommend this book for those readers who already have a conceptual knowledge of Italy & World War II, and wish to explore further what actually was happening on the ground in Italy's cities and towns during the conflict.

I give this book three stars, due to the misleading title.
