Hitler's Italian Allies : Royal Armed Forces, Fascist Regime, and the War of 1940–1943

Omtale

This book tries to understand why the Italian armed forces and Fascist regime were so remarkably ineffective at warfare. The book offers an innovative analytical cross section of the Italian war effort, from society and culture, through politics and war production, to strategy operations and tactics, and demonstrates the extent to which Italian military culture made humiliation inescapable.
