"Adano: Sicily, Occupation and the American Century" by Robert S. C. Gordon, Serena Professor of Italian, University of Cambridge
The Allied occupation of Europe began in Sicily in July 1943 and it marked the beginning of the end of Axis Europe. Professor Robert S. C. Gordon explores the remarkable history and literature of this 'other''occupation of Italy, drawing on both Italian and Allied sources, and on material ranging from photo-reportage to journalism to fiction. His main focus is on the work of the great American war reporter and writer, John Hersey, who accompanied the Allied landings in southern Sicily on 10 July 1943, dispatched his reports to Life Magazine, and published a few months later the first major work of 'occupation literature' of this war, A Bell for Adano (1944).
