.Rome (Oxford Archaeological Guides)
Search: Italy
by: Amanda Claridge, Judith Toms, Tony Cubberley

February 26, 1998
If you really want to know what you're looking at when you visit Rome, this book is a must for your suitcase! It is brisk, erudite, academic but highly accessible and fascinating. The layout is useful, too, with introductions relating to the building materials and general history. I was given it for Christmas so had plenty of time to read it before we went to Rome in March for a wonderful six days. It hugely contributed to my enjoyment of this fantastic city, where there is little interpretation of the archaeology on the ground, as it were, with a complete lack of signs, identification and interpretation. You still need a tourist guide book to get you to the sites, though, as there is no overall map of the city in the book, guiding you to where ... Read More:

.Monte Cassino (Cassell Military Paperbacks)
Search: Italy
by: Sven Hassel

August 14, 2003
The hill is Monte Cassino, and the horror is the carnage of Allied attempts to wrest it from the Germans in 1944, among whom are numbered the lads of the 27th Penal Battalion.
A classic Sven Hassel, with all the right ingredients - blood, guts, fear, high comedy and magnificent courage - with the shattered monastery ruins and the seedy streets of wartime Rome as the backdrop. The plot? Defend the hill to the last man.
The outcome? A compelling tale from the master of World War Two pulp fiction.
Enjoy it.

.Scourge and Fire: Savonarola and Renaissance Italy
Search: Italy
by: Lauro Martines

May 03, 2007
This is undoubtedly a thoroughly researched effort from Martines, as one would expect. There is plenty of detail included from a variety of sources but it is the interpretation and use of these sources which is unconvincing and inconsistent. Too often the author decides that certain sources can be dismissed in certain situations but held to in others - at one point he claims that Macchiavelli's impression as a witness of events cannot be trusted as he didn't write them down until 15 years later, however at a distance of half a millenium Martines has better insight! There are a great number of incidents like this in the text and leaves the reader with the impression that this is revisionism for the sake of it. Far too many attacks on the Compagnacci, ...
