Pavone casts a sober eye on his protagonists ethical and ideological motivations. He uncovers a multilayered conflict in which class antagonisms patriotism and political ideals all played a part. A clear understanding of this complexity allows him to explain many details of the post - war transition as well as the legacy of the Resistance for modern Italy.
