Italian Americans in World War II
Discover the first-hand accounts and stories of Italian World War II Veterans who answered the call to serve their country, despite being deemed Enemy Aliens by their own government. At the beginning of World War II, Italian citizens living in the United States were referred to as Enemy Aliens. Yet hundreds of young Italian Americans flocked to recruiting stations, and over 500,000-perhaps as many as 1.5 million-served in the military during the war. Despite the difficulties they faced, including the possibility of having to fight against Italians, countless Italian Americans received decorations for bravery, fourteen of whom received the Medal of Honor.

Calabrian-Americans in the Us Military During World War I, Volume 4
Thousands of Calabrian immigrants served in the United States military during World War I, but their story has not yet been told. Historian Peter L. Belmonte has undertaken that task. This book shows over 70 Calabrian-American soldiers in uniform during the war, along with short military biographies of each man. Coupled with his first three volumes, this book goes a long way to uncovering the story of a group of men from a common region who fought for their adopted country during a cataclysmic war a century ago.
Calabrian-americans in the Us Military During World War I
Hundreds of thousands of Calabrians--inhabitants of Calabria, the region that makes up the toe of the Italian boot--came to America in the decades before World War I.

Historian Peter L Belmonte begins this monumental task by concentrating on the area around the city of Cosenza, the provincial capital of Calabria's northern province. This second volume contains the military history of more than 290 veterans and focuses on immigrants from the villages of Carolei, Castrolibero, Cerisano, Domanico, Lattarico, Mendicino, Montalto Uffugo, Rende, Rota Greca, San Fili, San Marco Argentano, and San Vincenzo La Costa.

Chicago-Area Italians in World War I
Thousands of immigrants from the southern Italian region of Calabria came to the Chicago-area in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. As many as 8,000 of them served in the U.S. military during World War I, and until now no effort has been made to document their story. Historian Peter L.

Some of them earned medals for bravery. Many of the men suffered life-changing wounds, and some made the supreme sacrifice. Long without a voice in historical works, their story is finally told here.
