Reviews
"This is the first major English-language study of the fate of the roughly twenty thousand Italian soldiers held by Soviet forces during and after the Second World War. It fills an important gap in the English-language literature on Axis prisoners in Soviet captivity, and deserves praise for painting a full picture of Italian prisoners of war (POWs) in the Soviet Union from capture to repatriation. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Soviet forced labor and incarceration, prisoners of war, Italians on the Eastern Front, or Italian-Soviet relations." -- Susan Grunewald * The Russian Review *
"Stalin's Italian Prisoners of War has finally been made available through the fine English translation by Riccardo James Vargiu. This translation offers to a wider international audience with little Italian or Russian language knowledge an unprecedented corpus of historical materials, data, photographs, archival records, and veterans' life-writings that allows for a better understanding and positioning of the Italian military captivity experience in the USSR, within the larger existing comparative historiography on WWII military captivity in Soviet hands." https://www.proquest.com/openview/378a4ec4a55cadcfe3238e0c936d6a01/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=6698596 -- Elena Bellina * Annali d'Italianistica *
