My best description of this book is "Fear and Loathing in World War II." The author travels the elite salons, bourgeois bars, and royal banquet halls of Europe telling stories of the horror, humanity and black humor of the war. A surreal mixture of fact and fiction, wit and wisdom, history and fantasy, told as a memoir by a sharp-witted, sardonic Italian ambassador.
