This is a story of an army officer who is in charge of an occupied Italian town late in WW2. It's a bit dated but interesting to me in that it seems like the forerunner of MASH and Catch 22 and other irreverent portrayals of military life. In the story the army major does a wonderful job caring for the people of the town and helping them make the transition from Fascism to American occupation. In the end he is undone by bureaucracy and petty army small mindedness.
