Game designer and author Jack Greene and Bersaglieri veteran Alessandro Massignani have written a detailed account of the North Africa campaign, with German and Italian material available nowhere else, including fascinating accounts of Mussolini's Blackshirts, the Young Fascists Division, and the Folgore Parachute Division.
Now available in paperback, this superbly written account is the first English-language book utilizing the latest research in various languages to provide a comprehensive record of World War II fighting on, under, and over the Mediterranean. Far more than an operational history, it explains why the various warship classes were built and employed, the role of the Italian Air Force at sea, the successes of German planes and U-boats, and much more. Detailed maps provide a clear visual aid to understanding events, while many never-before-published photographs paint a vivid picture of the reality of war at sea. Lauded for their thorough research and persuasive style, the authors have made a valuable contribution to the record, and their book will attract everyone with an interest in the naval aspect of World War II.
Exploring a unique blend of imagery and emotion, the collection takes readers on a journey through art, history, and nature, from Vermeer’s paintings to atomic fallout shelters. The poems create an intimate gallery experience, merging visual and verbal elements into a cohesive exploration of existence. Each piece stands alone yet contributes to a larger narrative about life and light, inviting reflection on the interconnectedness of our experiences and the world around us.
