Acclaim for CITY OF SECRETS by John Follain: 'A hugely intriguing explorationFormidable research and, if true, disturbing revelations.' -- Frederick Forsythe 'I read MUSSOLINI'S ISLAND at a single sitting. It is a rare thing for a work of military history to be so compulsively readable and yet so humane. Follain weaves together stories from all sides of this terrible conflict, from the powerful and the humble, with understated mastery.' -- John Dickie, author of COSA NOSTRA 'Extremely readable. A fascinating collection of eyewitness accounts...we are given the views of all sides involved...A thoroughly recommendable book.' -- Scotsman on Sunday
