Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy's Contribution to the Great Victory For one reason or another, it makes no difference what, Italy's contribution to the Great Victory and her enormous sacrifices and efforts have been very little appreciated, at least outside of Italy. The Italian is naturally extremely modest and I found him continually minimizing his country's achievements and lauding, even extravagantly, the efforts and achievements of his friends. It was my duty and great privilege to be closely associated with the Italians in Italy for a year and a half during 1917 and 1918. I record some of my impressions, gained at first hand, in the hope that they will enable others to know, appreciate and love Italy as I learned to do during her hour of greatest trial and during the moment of her greatest triumph. I do not want to be understood as saying Italy won the war, for this is at once correct and incorrect. It would be absurd to make such a statement without qualifications; but it is nevertheless unquestionably true that the war could not have been won without Italy anymore than it could have been won without England, France, Belgium, Russia or the United States. All six countries contributed in varying degrees to the victory, for the failure of any one would have spelled defeat for the Allied cause. These countries were like links of various sizes and strength in a chain, the parting of any one of which would have meant the parting of the chain.
