I had a hard time getting into this book as there were so many characters and a lot of the names sounded similar. Confusion over who was who reigned until I decided not to worry about it. The story of the Italian resistance rang through loud and clear. The amount of detail pulled together and woven into the narrative made the book a good read. I could see the mountains, the villages, the town, the tattered people. Most of the litereary attention has been on Britain, northern Europe and the Soviet Union with only a little time spent on the south, or Africa, so to read such a detailed account of the last years of the war in Northern Italy was very interesting and informative.
