Kenneth A. Loparo 
The Italian Army in Slovenia 
Strategies of Antipartisan Repression, 1941–1943

This powerful study offers a vivid and often disturbing account of the Italian army’s occupation of Slovenia during World War II. It moves from the decision of the Italians to annex Slovenia in 1941, through local resistance and brutal reaction against civilians, to the army’s ultimate collapse following Italy’s defection from the Axis.
