A House in the Mountains: The Women Who Liberated Italy from Fascism by Caroline Moorehead
3.0
Though entertaining and informative, Moorehead's insistence on using first names for her primary protagonists and last names for other figures was confusing for a work already littered with names.
I also wish she expanded on the nature of sexual violence the Germans and Italian fascists visited upon on Italians, as well as its use against collaborators after liberation. The book would have benefited from a more coherent account of the Allies' duplicity, disorganization, and indifference towards the resistance.
