Summary note

This book by Elisabetta Ricciardi explores the wartime diaries of her father, Carlo Ricciardi, an Italian cavalry officer during World War II (1940-1943). Through these diaries, the author chronicles her father's experiences, thoughts, and observations during his military service and clandestine resistance activities. The book delves into themes of personal identity, historical memory, and the complexity of the Italian Resistance. It also examines the silence and reticence of military participants in the post-war period. Combining historical research with a personal narrative, the work offers insights into Italy's military and social history during a turbulent era. Intended for scholars, historians, and readers interested in World War II and Italian history, the book provides a unique perspective on the personal and collective struggles of that time.
