Excerpt from Observations Upon the Peloponnesus and Greek Islands, Made in 1829 The day after our arrival, I removed to the Lazar etto, and occupied an apartment looking out on the lofty battlements of Valetta. The seclusion here is not entire. In ordinary cases the inmates are allowed to converse with each other Wherever they chance to meet, remembering only to preserve the proper distance. But the intercourse with all persons not in quarantine, must be in the parlatorio, or place for conversation, Where barriers 'are interposed to pre vent a near approach of the parties. There I saw my brethren of the mission, Messrs. Bird, Goodell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A powerful and unique study of the realities and long-term impact of occupation, "Mussolini's Greek Island" reveals the Italian dictator's imperial vision, the mechanisms of Italian occupation and its tragic consequences. The small island of Syros is a vital entry-point illuminating Italian imperialism - its ethos, fascist connection, pretension and administrative achievements, marred by famine. Here Lecoeur examines the devastating effects of war and occupation on the local community - starvation, corruption and survival - and, drawing on local archives and interviews with survivors, offers new insight into this crucial but little known episode. Enriching our understanding of Mussolini's hegemonic visions and the mechanisms of occupation, a key issue of our times, this path-breaking book will appeal to scholars of fascism, World War II and military occupation in general.
