Was there a Civil War in Italy 1943-45? TIK Q&A

Jim Land has asked - I vaguely know that after Sicily fell Italy was ready to throw in the towel and in some way switched sides. I've even heard it described as a civil war in 43-45. Can you elaborate on the details, or recommend books/lectures on the subject? Videos EVERY Monday at 5pm GMT (depending on season, check for British Summer Time). - - - - BIBLIOGRAPHY / SOURCES The two books I'd recommend on this topic are Farrell's "Mussolini: A New Life" and Holland's "Italy's Sorrow".

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
