The Italian Defence ministry publish official histories related to their armed forces and the following link will take you to the page of their website that lists all of them-

Thank you for posting that link. Some interesting material.

The website has had some alterations and my link no longer works. Does anybody have an address for where these documents have moved to?

They have reorganized their webpage. Here is the new header page.

Pista! Jeff

Hello Jeff. My original link took you to a page that had multiple books that could be downloaded but I don’t see this on the new page.

It looks like the SME has taken the free pdf. books down. It appears they are working with Rodorigo Editore, a publishing house. However, that link is not working.

I believe they are attempting to monetize the electronic books.

Pista! Jeff

They will not be making a fortune out of that enterprise but at the same time it deters researchers so less people come looking. It is a vicious circle that I see happening across many diverse repositories of history. If I was being cynical I would say that those who control the past control the future as George Orwell once mentioned.
