"On March 24, 1944, Nazi occupation forces killed 335 unarmed civilians in Rome in retaliation for a partisan attack the day before. The Order Has Been Carried Out is an oral history of the massacre, of its background and its aftermath. The moving stories of the victims, of the women and children who survived and carried on, of the partisans who fought the Nazis, of the common people who lived through the tragedies of the war, paint a many-hued picture of more than a century in the history of one of the world's most richly historical cities.
These narratives, woven together by one of the foremost practitioners of oral history, tell of the struggles for freedom under Fascism and Nazism, of the battles for memory in Italy's postwar democracy, and of the meanings of death and grief in modern society."--Jacket.
