An original and critical perspective
2 Aug 2004
Format:Hardcover
Participants in historical events are often the worst commentators on them. I think that this is a first-rate piece of historical research putting into question the conventional wisdom, including that of Italian fascists whose own atrocities in and around Trieste finally are receiving the attention they deserve. This is not to release the Titoists from their responsibility. But it does remind us who started the upheaval in the region and whyy it was Italian fascism and the nature of its defeat and not "Communist aggression" that visited such disasters on the city of Trieste and its hinterland.

Advocacy, Not History
2 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
I "lived" through much of the period and conditions of her subject. I was stationed in Trieste during the period 1946-1947 with the U.S. Army. I am aware of the strife which she tends to view from only one side, i.e.,the Communist Jugoslav faction. One only has to compare her rejection of the known facts of the "Forty Days" (the period from May 1, 1945 to June 12, 1945 when the Jugoslav Army and the Jugoslav OZNA controlled the city) as she passes off Basovizza (site of mass burials of Italians) as trivial!
Ms Sluga is an advocate, not an historian!
