„Włoch w śniegach Rosji” jest relacją absolutnie wyjątkową. Epopeja włoskiego Korpusu Alpejskiego – porzuconego i praktycznie zdradzonego przez niemieckiego sojusznika – oraz jego tragiczne losy w czasie zimowego odwrotu znad Donu są jedną z najtragiczniejszych kart historii walk na froncie wschodnim. Osobiste relacje z tych wydarzeń są niezwykle rzadkie – bardzo niewielu zostało tych, którzy mogliby napisać wspomnienia. Jednak wartość chwytających za serce i przerażająco szczerych zapisków Mario Rigoniego jest podwójna. To nie tylko historia strzelców alpejskich, przejmujący opis ludzkich tragedii i donośny sprzeciw przeciwko absurdowi wojny. To przede wszystkim dowód na to, że nawet na dnie piekieł zawsze tli się nadzieja i człowiek, niezależnie od sytuacji i koloru munduru który nosi, wciąż może uchronić się przed ostatecznym szaleństwem – o ile nie zapomni, że jest człowiekiem.

The book examines the notable rise in security cooperation among European Union states, driven by shifts in the international system from bipolarity to a unipolar structure dominated by the United States. Seth Jones highlights how this transformation has prompted EU countries to collaborate on economic sanctions, military production, and joint operations to enhance their global influence and reduce dependence on the US. Additionally, it discusses the 'binding' strategy adopted by European leaders in the early 1990s, aimed at ensuring long-term peace while strengthening military capabilities.

The book follows the different stages of a break-up. Starting with the 'break-up' itself and moving onto the 'begging and hope', then to the 'anger' stage, onto acceptance', before 'moving on'. Finally a '3 years on' section tells of the authors feeling to date. This was written in the hopes that it could guide other people in similar situations safely back to themselves.
