Reseña del libro "Bersaglieri: The Devil's Griffins--A Visual History of Italy's Elite Plumed Warriors (en Inglés)"

Military historians have often regarded the roll of the Italian military as somewhat "bipolar." During the First World War, Italy sided with the Allies including Britain, France, Russia and the U.S. against Germany and the Central Powers. During the Second World War it signed on as a member of the Tripartite powers joining Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The legacy of the latter often presents a less than positive appraisal of the Italian soldier's performance...one espoused both by its enemies and allies. However a positive consensus appears when focusing on the Bersaglieri - translating as "sharpshooters" - and acting as shock troops often leading both assaults and defenses. As "The Tip of the Spear" they would thus pay the price during the Italian Wars of Unification, the early colonial forays into Africa, WWI, the Ethiopian War and lastly WWII with much Bersaglieri blood soaked up by European soil as well as the burning sands of Africa and frozen in the vastness of Russia. Over 300 images including rare unpublished photographs chronicle Italy's elite "Plumed Warriors."
