Incontrare l’‘altro’ nel conflitto totale. Introduzione

The contents of the book are introduced, focusing on the aim therein of highliting, through literature and stories, the destinies of the many forgotten victims of the conflict (e.g. civil populations killed, deported or compelled to flee; women; POW and deserters, etc.) and how their misery largely depended upon the attitude to label as hostile or simply "other" all people living beyond a physical or, more often than not, a mental border.
