5.0 out of 5 stars Five Star
A well written and informative book with plenty of photographs and well illustrated. A worthy addition to my collection of Osprey Italian army books, quickly delivered and at a good price.
5.0 out of 5 stars The dawn of Special Forces - in Italy!
Fascinating overview of the Italian Armies Special Forces Units during the Second World War. From parachutists to desert warriors to Alpine warfare units (along with the little known overseas volunteers) this is a great introduction to the early elite forces deployed by the Italians on all fronts. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Italian Army Elite Units & Special Forces
If like myself your iterest is all things to do with the Italian forces during WW2 then this book is a must have!.It has excellent photos of the units,many rare ones at that and good illustrations to back them up showing detail of insignia,equipment,weapons etc,as well as lots of info on the units background combat role and areas they served in during WW2.The books best side is to show also that the Italian forces during the WW2 were far from the propaganda image that most of us are familiar with,i.e.long lines of P.O.Ws etc,but brave men who often died and fought with Italys name on their lips!.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor formatting
Great to see Osprey making the Kindle leap rather than sticking with pdf, but this title does need some more work on the formatting.The colour plates are great, but the accompanying descriptions don't work on a Kindle Keyboard. You lose the bottom of the text, and there seems to be no way to get to it.Oddly, I can get to the text if I use the Kindle app on my phone, but rather thann the usual page turn, you get an arrow at the botom of the screen which you tap to go down a line or two at a time. Not seen that functiomnality in any other book.Other titles I've recently purchased don't have this problem, so maybe this was one of their earlier Kindle releases, before they'd quite cracked the formatting.All that said, loving the book. Would have given 5 without the format problem.

Informative
Another great Osprey military book. The title is a bit misleading though, but that has more to do with what the Italian forces in ww2 would gave called their elite spec ops forces in ww2, which is not the same as we would title such forces today.Still, an informative book about ww2 Italian forces and their organization, uniforms, and equipment with some history about their use and deployments during that era.
surprising Information
This book is well written, and easy to read. it covered the subject very well. It was well worth the price. I never knew that the Italian Army had so many elite units that fought so bravely.
