A frequent visitor to Italy, Anne Saunders was struck by the fact that of all the travel guides available to prospective tourists, rarely could anything be found on sites commemorating World War II.

“As it turned out, there wasn’t one at all,” says Saunders, a research associate with the Department of Classics at the College of Charleston. “One could find books on Normandy and D-Day, of course, but there was nothing comparable for Italy. The problem was that there was so little information about them.”
