Review
"* 'It is a rare thing for a work of military history to be so compulsively readable and yet so humane. Follain weaves together stories from all sides of this terrible conflict, from the powerful and the humble, with understated mastery.' - John Dickie, author of COSA NOSTRA * 'Extremely readable. A fascinating collection of eyewitness accounts...A thoroughly recommendable book.' - Scotsman on Sunday * 'We are given fascinating insights into the characters of the two competing Allied generals. Gripping... if you like your history visceral, emotive and first-hand, this is the book for you.' - Saul David, Sunday Telegraph * 'Riveting... it is in the detail that Mussolini's Island really triumphs. The book is full of remarkable stories.' - The Sunday Times"
