A look at the Allied administration of Italy, and the difficulties of administering a country from which so much of the West's culture emanated. "Mr. Harris's book is a military, not a political, history, but he has been bound to devote considerable space to the political happenings which influened the successive phases of military government in Italy." It also looks at the difficulty of a campaign "conducted by two Great Powers...and describes the formation, the functioning, and the remarkable success of an Anglo-American organization 'integrated' to a degree unknown in previous history." -- From the Editor's preface.
