Book: "Storie Segrete. Operazioni sconosciute o dimenticate della seconda guerra mondiale" by Rosselli, Alberto (2007).

Has anyone read this book about Italian resistance behind British lines in Italian East Africa in 1941-43?

Does it mention any British sources dealing with the British Military Administration of Eritrea, or is it entirely Italian sourced? I haven't been able to track down any significant archival source on the BMA in Eritrea myself.

Many thanks,

Sid.

I haven't read the book. From what little I was able to discover via Google, it appears the book covers more than just A.O.I. No reviews or any other comment about its content.

Pista! Jeff

I haven't read this book, but AFAIK everything available about Italian resistance in East Africa is limited to a very useful chapter in the book "Gli italiani in Africa" by Franco Bandini, the biographies of Amedeo Guillet by Vittorio Dan Segre and by Sebastian O'Kelly, the article by Cernuschi "La resistenza sconosciuta" and this useful article: Riccardo Cappelli, "Francesco De Martini. La resistenza italiana in AOI e il mancato appoggio all'insurrezione iraqena (1941)" (from page 225).
