Venice at War

Résumé du livre

This fascinating article by Gertrude Slaughter describes what it was like in Venice during World War I, and the role the city played during the crisis. Slaughter, who lived in Venice at the time, speaks to the contrast between the city that most believe Venice to be?that is, full of romance, frivolity and gaiety?versus the somber and serious Naval base it became during the war.?
