Summary:

In 1943 the United States reluctantly took part in the invasion and liberation of Italy and, during the occupation, became increasingly involved in Italy's reconstruction problems. The program that evolved was distinctly American in approach, with emphasis on creating middle-class democracies under the control of moderate leaders and parties. Miller chronicles the success--and near collapse--of the reform program and explains the reasons for further U.S. postwar intervention. Originally published in 1986.
