Note: Fernando Tanucci Nannini (1896-1981) received two promotions for war merit, was wounded twice and took part in 12 campaigns. He volunteered into the Bersagliere and served in World War 1, participated in the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939 and was Commander of the Regiment GG.FF. (Young Fascists), from 1940-1942. His most notable feat in Africa was leading a battalion of 600 Young Fascists alson the Gobi caravan hub on the road to El Alamein in combat against the British. After the war he was a Senator.
SCW 448Arconovaldo Bonaccorsi (1898–1962), was a fanatical and idealistic fascist from the first moment he met Benito Mussolini after World War I. In 1922 he participated in the March on Rome as leader of the fascists from Bologna. He graduated from the Universita di Bologna as attorney in 1928, and soon started to work as a lawyer defending Italian fascists. In the early 1930s he married and had 3 children.
His moment of glory came when Mussolini sent him to the Balearic Islands at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. In Majorca, having arrived in August 1936, he was known as 'Conde Rossi', a name that derived from his red beard. There, he was soon able to "galvanize" the nationalists and obtained a huge victory at Manacor against the Republicans. On December 14, 1936 the British prime minister 
SCW 448Anthony Eden wrote a memorandum to his government were he pinpointed that Italy could create a "Protectorate" in Majorca which put pressure on Mussolini to withdraw Bonaccorsi from the Baleares islands (where he had just conquered Ibiza with 500 Falangists).As a consequence, in February 1937, Bonaccorsi was promoted to "General of the Blackshirts" (Console delle Milizie fasciste) and sent to the Malaga front with the Italian corps (CTV). He never returned to Majorca. He later served in Italian Ethiopia, where he complained to Mussolini about the dire conditions of the Italian Empire in case of war. Bonaccorsi participated in the 1940 conquest of British Somaliland as military commander of the "Reparto Speciale Autonomo della Milizia fascista", a unit made of 300 Italian Commando. He was a prisoner of war from 1941–1946; after the war he resumed his legal and political activities, and defended German General Otto Wagener, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for atrocities he had committed in Rhodes during World War II. In 1949, Bonaccorsi created the "Associazione Nazionale Combattenti Italiani di Spagna (ANCIS)" and in the same year applied for membership in the neofascist political party "MSI". Bonaccorsi was a candidate for the Italian Social Movement (MSI) in 1958. He died in 1962 in Rome. The Italian newspaper Il Secolo d'Italia praised him with a funeral article, which noted that he was one of the few military commanders who received medals for combat valor from three countries (Italy, Spain and Germany).

Price: $390.00
Note: From Wikipedia: Sam Dolgoff (1902–1990) was an anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist from Russia who grew up and lived and was active in the United States. Dolgoff was born in the shtetl of Ostrovno in Vitebsk Governorate, Russian Empire (in present-day Beshankovichy Raion, Belarus), moving as a child to New York City in 1905 or 1906, where he lived in the Bronx and in Manhattan's Lower East Side where he died. His father was a house painter, and Dolgoff began house painting at the age of 11, a profession he remained in his entire life. After being expelled from the Young People's Socialist League, Sam joined the Industrial Workers of the World in the 1922 and remained an active member his entire life, playing an active role in the anarchist movement for much of the century. He was a co-founder of the Libertarian Labor Review magazine, which was later renamed Anarcho-Syndicalist Review to avoid confusion with America's Libertarian Party. Dolgoff was a member of the Chicago Free Society Group in the 1920s, Vanguard Group member and editor of its publication Vanguard: A Journal of Libertarian Communism in the 1930s, and co-founded the Libertarian League in New York in 1954. He wrote articles for anarchist magazines as well as books as the editor of highly acclaimed anthologies. He was active in many causes, and attended groups like New York's Libertarian Book Club regularly. Dogloff died of congestive heart failure at the age of 88 in 1990.

Auca titled “Aleluyas sin Censura de la Vida un Poco Dura con Macula y con Borron de un Soberano Borbon”. It is critical of King Alfonso XIII. It discusses the development of his life. Baptised and crowned, Cuba was his first shock, he was happy to be in Paris, victim of terrorism, married an English princess, there was an explosion at the wedding, neutrality in WW1. His soldiers go to Morocco and are starving and ill equipped while he plays polo. His party is elected to power even though the people paid 11 million pts to the royal family. In Melila the victories are more notorious each time while the Bourbons continue to win sailing cups. He goes hunting while the Morocco swallows cannons, arms and men. Primo de Rivera wants to create a coup to restructure everything. If the public disagrees with the king they are taken away. The King and the military look after each other but in the end the King is alone. Sanchez Guerra goes against him, the King takes his money to London. Any dissenters go to prison, the military is not happy, Macia and Zamora see the Republic coming. In the end not even the Civil Guard protect him and has to leave the country. M

Two manuscripts from an Italian soldier that fought at Guadalahara and Santander. Typed. One is 25 pages, the other is 12 pages. He must have gone on to fight in Russia with the Azul Division because there are 2 pages devoted to Russia. He writes in prose with nothing that appears to be a daily entry. I suspect he was writing a book as there are also many handwritten edits. M
