Naples 1944

This will a deep history of the liberation of Naples, one of the most morally ambiguous moments in the history of the war. It will also be the first major study in the English language.

Keith Lowe explores what happened in Naples during the war, the horrendous experience of the allied invasion and how that has affected Naples today. Based on original archival research, human stories and time spent living in Naples, this book will be a powerful and eloquent evocation of a city and a people living at a time of great violence and turmoil.
