War is chaos; an occupying force must bring order out of that
chaos. The Allied Occupation of Italy is studied by examining
crime, law and order in Sicily and southern Italy, where all forms
of Allied and liberated Italian government were used and which also
contained Italy's two historically most troublesome areas, Naples
and Sicily. Effective society requires law and order to exist; this
book examines the behaviour of a million Allied servicemen on the
ordinary citizens of Italy, recently 'the enemy', from the nuisance
of drunkenness to rape and murder. Many Italian law and order
issues were caused by political conflict, land occupations and the
poor availability of food and other essentials. The last led to
unrest, discontent, a thriving black market, prostitution and a
resurgence of crime. All these are examined, using original
documents, as are police and Allied performance and the curious
absence of the Mafia.
