Stars, Stripes And Italian Tricolor: The United States And Italy, 1946-1989

A longtime American correspondent in Italy, with good connections both there and in the United States, presents a record of American-Italian relations based largely on extensive quotes collected over the years from his newspaper and journal reports. The major focus is on American policy toward the Italian Communist Party and the continuous American opposition to its joining the government. A pleasant, chatty and somewhat complacent work.
