THE MEN OF EL-ALAMEIN

The Italian Institute of Culture on the occasion of the 66th Anniversary of the Battle of El-Alamein holds a slide presentation and readings from the personal diaries of Italian soldiers who fought the Desert war.


Jill Edwards, Historian from American University in Cairo, will give the introduction to the conference. The event is open to all and a brochure with text in English, Italian and Arabic will be distributed.


I love history and I believe that this is going to be a nice and most instructive event on several levels, not only for those interested in Military History. Therefore I thought there might be somebody among my readers interested and decided to post it. After all, this is definitely a live event!
