Many countries had anti-fascist Resistance movements, and Italy's was one of the biggest and most politically radical yet it remains relatively unknown outside of its own homeland.Within Italy many plaques and streets commemorate the actions of the partisans - a movement from below that grew as Mussolini's dictatorship unravelled. Led by radical left forces, the Resistance trod a thin line between fighting their enemies at home and maintaining an uneasy working relationship with the Allies.Essential for courses on World War Two and European history, Tom Behan uses unpublished archival material and interviews with surviving partisans to tell an inspiring story of liberation. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xUnderground movements$zItaly 606 $aAnti-fascist movements$zItaly 607 $aItaly$xHistory$yAllied occupation, 1943-1947 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xUnderground movements 615 0$aAnti-fascist movements 676 $a940.53 700 $aBehan$b Tom$f1957-$0526645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456284703321 996 $aThe Italian resistance$91919082 997 $aUNINA
