I really enjoyed this story, set in WWII, of an American major who, stationed in a small town in Italy, helps the people through his patience and fair judgments, after they had been beaten down by the fascists. And the main story deals with his acquiring a new town bell after their own 700-year-old bell was melted down by the fascists.
It was heartwarming, funny, and in general, lighter than Hersey's other books that I have read ("Hiroshima" -- majorly good! But, of course, because of the subject matter, very sad. And "A Single Pebble" -- also very good, but more serious than this one.).
A Bell for Adano was also made into a movie in 1945 (Gene Tierney & Harry Morgan) & 1967 (John Forsythe). Now I know why!
