3.5⭐️

I enjoy reading history because I love to learn things. In Keith Lowe's Naples 1944: The Paradise at War, Lowe takes us on a journey of Naples during WWII when the Allies first land there. His book covers the years 1943-1946.

I have a problem when I read history books. I always end up going down the rabbit hole. This time was no different. I was never taught in school about the Allies landing there, or I don't remember it.

MonicaLoves2Read I remember learning about Normandy and the rest of France, the Netherlands, and of course, when they made it to Germany. I like it when a writer of history writes in a way that you feel what the people went through, and Lowe does this well. If you like history or WWII history, specifically, I think you would enjoy this book. The main reason is because Lowe tells about a little known town affected by the war and the Allies. Not that Naples is little. It's just not talked about much what the town and people went through during this time.
