This work reviews the most important developments in Albania from the Italian invasion of the country in 1939 to the accession to power of the Albanian Communist Party and the establishment of a "people's democracy" in 1946. The author analyzes in great detail Italian goals and objectives in Albania and explains the eventual failure of Rome's policy, the subsequent German invasion of the country, and the rise of organized resistance movements against the Axis Powers. The book provides an analysis of competing external interests in Albania and explores the great obstacles that the Albanians faced in regaining their independence at the end of the war.
Bernd J. Fischer is Professor of History at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.
