Book Overview
Angelo, a private in Mussolini's 'ever-glorious' Italian army, may possess the virtues of love and an engaging innocence but he lacks the gift of courage. However, due to circumstances beyond his control, he ends up fighting not only for Italy, but also for the British and German armies.Eric Linklater, who served with the Black Watch in Italy in World War II, is one of Scotland's most distinguished writers. In Private Angelo he has written a book which demonstrates that honor is not solely the preserve of the brave.

Private Angelo
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I read this book when I was about thirteen years old. I got it from the libaray immediately after seeing the film with the wonderful Peter Ustinov (saidly not available on tape or CD). I enjoyed the book immensely and, over the years, searched for a copy of my own. I was never lucky enough to find one, that is, until now. The book is still funny and fun. It is what used to be called 'a good read' and remains highly entertaining. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.
