Memoirs in English?

Are there any memoirs from Italian troops on the Soviet front that are available to read in English? I'd be interested to see a first-hand look at this subject.

Kolja,
Whilst this book may not come under the heading of memoir, Mussolini’s Death March is well worth a read!
Regards,
Bob

I would consider Revelli's book a memoir.

Jeff, yes, you are correct. Read the book sometime ago and have just refreshed my memory by a quick glance at it!

If it is the translation of La strada del davai it is a collection of memoirs, extremely interesting for the description of the captivity of ARMIR soldiers (the part about the deployment and fighting before the capture is usually rather concise in most accounts).
