Italians in Britain during the Second World War.

This book addresses the case of two different types of Italians in Britain during the Second World War: the immigrants, who became 'enemy aliens' overnight, and the prisoners of war, who were brought to this country to compensate for the lack of manpower. The material life and the contrasting sentiments of both groups of Italians are studied against a background of changing government policies towards 'enemy aliens' and POWs. 358 Seiten, broschiert (Peter Lang Verlag 2000) Mängelexemplar/near mint
