This video is a book review of "Italian Partisan Weapons in WWII" by Gianluigi Usai, translated by Ralph Riccio and published by Schiffer. The book aims to fill a gap in historical accounts of the Italian Resistance by detailing the arms used by partisans. The reviewer highlights the book's initial section which provides historical context, discusses arms acquisition, and analyzes partisan perspectives on their weaponry. It also notes the often informal and politically motivated nature of the partisan groups, leading to a varied and sometimes obscure collection of firearms. The latter part of the book profiles individual weapons, accompanied by photographs of partisans with their arms. The reviewer finds the contextual analysis particularly interesting and believes the book is worth the price, despite some minor factual errors in the weapon profiles.
