Rabbits and Spaghetti: Captives and Comrades: Australians, Italians and the War Bill Bunbury In very good condition as per photo. Signed by the author...To Owen Best wishes Bill Bunbury

Rabbits and Spaghetti is about relationships between Italians and Australians during World War II but away from the battlefront. Bunbury links quotes from participants speaking "in their own words" with his own narrative summaries and descriptive passages: his approach is to narrate the stories of a few individuals in detail. Part one covers the experiences of Italians as civilian internees in Australia, where some of them spent the entire war behind fences. Part two follows Italian soldiers taken prisoner in North Africa and shipped to Australia, particularly those who worked on the land and later returned with their families. Part three is about Australian prisoners-of-war in Italy, some of whom also worked on farms, and part four about those who escaped, either to safety in Switzerland or to join the Italian resistance. The postscript completes the story by recounting what happened after the war to the individuals featured.
