I am always on the lookout for rediscovered tales of heroism and valor. I am so glad my autistic search for militaria has led me to this amazing book.
A book about the first Arditi under Baseggio and their exploits against the Austrian lines. Simply amazing the spiritual heights these men ascended.
I hope the mainstream can recognize this as the Mediterranean version of "Storm of Steel". Some parts of this story placed the reader simultaneously at the glorious heights of the Alps with the Arditi, as well as the tumultuous (and oddly equally moving) pits of Hades.
My favorite quote
"Arditismo is made up by the fundamental characteristics of unshakable will and discipline. It is law that pushes against instincts...a militia above all militias, and enacts in its social bonds the principles of youth against corrupting forces."
Be an Ardito.
