Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published 80 years after the "Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Russia" (CSIR) began combat operations in the Soviet Union, "Mussolini's War in the East 1941-1943" describes Italian participation in the Russian campaign. The first part of the book outlines the causes and motivations for Mussolini to declare war against the USSR on 22 June 1941 and Italy's preparedness to fight a modern, mobile war. It then goes on to discuss the battles the CSIR took part in Operation Barbarossa, from August to the Christmas Battle of 1941. The second part of the book covers Italian participation on Russian Front in 1942 and 1943. It discusses the struggle to survive in the first winter, Italian contributions to the First and Second Battles of Izyum, expansion of Italy's commitment and formation of the Armata Italiana in Russia (ARMIR). The section details the march to the Don River as part of Operation "Blue", the First Defensive Battle of the Don River, the cataclysmic Red Army counter-offensives in December 1942 and January 1943, and the harrowing Italian retreats. "Mussolini's War in the East" also discusses Italian naval operations on the Black Sea and Lake Ladoga, the Italian-sponsored 88th Croat Legion, the Carabinieri, the Blackshirts, the Italian armor, and the contributions of the Regia Aeronautica on the Russian Front.

Book excerpt: A remarkable new history evoking the centrality of Italy to World War II, outlining the brief rise and triumph of the Fascists, followed by the disastrous fall of the Italian military campaign. While staying closely aligned with Hitler, Mussolini remained carefully neutral until the summer of 1940. At that moment, with the wholly unexpected and sudden collapse of the French and British armies, Mussolini declared war on the Allies in the hope of making territorial gains in southern France and Africa. This decision proved a horrifying miscalculation, dooming Italy to its own prolonged and unwinnable war, immense casualties, and an Allied invasion in 1943 that ushered in a terrible new era for the country. John Gooch's new history is the definitive account of Italy's war experience. Beginning with the invasion of Abyssinia and ending with Mussolini's arrest, Gooch brilliantly portrays the nightmare of a country with too small an industrial sector, too incompetent a leadership and too many fronts on which to fight. Everywhere—whether in the USSR, the Western Desert, or the Balkans—Italian troops found themselves against either better-equipped or more motivated enemies. The result was a war entirely at odds with the dreams of pre-war Italian planners—a series of desperate improvisations against an allied force who could draw on global resources, and against whom Italy proved helpless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the motives, preparation, objectives, contact and consequences of Italy's war of 1940, which ended the country's role as a great power and reduced it to the status of first among Germany's satellites.

Book Synopsis Hitler's Italian Allies by : MacGregor Knox
Download or read book Hitler's Italian Allies written by MacGregor Knox and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascist Italy's ultimate defeat was foreordained. It was a pygmy among giants, and Hitler's failure to destroy the Soviet Union in 1941 doomed all three Axis powers. But Italy's defeat was unique; the only asset that it conquered - briefly - with its own unaided forces in the entire Second World War was a dusty and useless corner of Africa, British Somaliland. And Italy's forces dissolved in 1943 almost without resistance, in stark contrast to the grim fight to the last cartridge of Hitler's army or the fanatical faithfulness unto death of the troops of Imperial Japan. This book tries to understand why the Italian armed forces and Fascist regime were so remarkably ineffective at an activity - war - central to their existence. It approaches the issue above all from the perspective of military culture, through analysis of the services' failure to imagine modern warfare and through a topical structure that offers a social-cultural, political, military-economic, strategic, operational, and tactical cross-section of the war effort.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from the front in order to sustain moral and influence international opinion. Part II looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war and wartime diplomacy as well as examining the way in which neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume concludes by assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collaborators and resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects.

Book Synopsis Mussolini's War in Spain 1936-1939 by : Patrick Cloutier
Download or read book Mussolini's War in Spain 1936-1939 written by Patrick Cloutier and published by Axis Europe. This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published 80 years after the end of Italian combat operations in Catalonia, "Mussolini's War in Spain 1936-1939" discusses Italian military aid to the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. Mr. Cloutier's work draws much from Italian and Spanish publications, followed by Russian publications, as well as such classic Anglosphere historians as Hugh Thomas, Antony Beevor, and John Coverdale. Mr. Cloutier describes Italian operations in detail, often providing a day-by-day picture of events. The Russian-language materials identify the opposing Popular Front (or Republican) units, which engaged Italian and Nationalist units in the struggle for Spain, and are of interest for their assessments of Italian battlefield performance.
Book Synopsis Blood, Oil and the Axis by : John Broich
Download or read book Blood, Oil and the Axis written by John Broich and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “almost absurdly colorful” history of the WWII battle for the Levant: “In places . . . the material is like Casablanca meets The English Patient” (The Wall Street Journal). In the spring of 1941, the Allied forces had one last hope: that the Axis would run through its fuel supply. In Blood, Oil and the Axis, historian John Broich tells the vital story of Iraq and the Levant during this most pivotal time of the war. Four Iraqi generals staged a pro-German coup in Iraq, they established military cooperation between the Axis and the Middle East. The Allies responded with an improvised and unlikely coalition: Palestinian and Jordanian Arabs, Australians, American and British soldiers, Free French Foreign Legionnaires, and Jewish Palestinians. All shared a common desire to quash the formation of an Axis state in the region. Taking readers from a bombed-out Fallujah, to Baghdad, to Damascus, this definitive chronicle features numerous memorable figures, including Jack Hasey, a young American who fought with the Free French Foreign Legion; Freya Stark, a famous travel-writer-turned-government-agent; and even Roald Dahl, a young Royal Air Force recruit and future author of beloved children’s books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously unpublished analysis of why and how the Italians foughtA look at the role the Italian Army played in North Africa as part of the Deutsches Afrika Korps (German Afrika Korps)In spite of poor leadership, the Italian soldier performed well against all odds in North AfricaProfusely illustrated with many rare and unpublished images ‘The German soldier has impressed the world, however, the Italian Bersagliere soldier has impressed the German soldier.’ Erin Rommel aka ‘The Desert Fox’ When most people think of the Italian Army in North Africa during the Second World War, they tend to believe that the average Italian soldier offered little resistance to the Allies before surrendering. Many suggest that the Italian Army performed in a cowardly manner during the war: the reality is not so simple. The question remains as to whether the Italians were cowards or victims of circumstance. While the Italian soldier’s commitment to the war was not as great as that of his German counterpart, many Italians fought bravely. The Italian Littorio and Ariete Divisions earned Allied admiration at Tobruk, Gazala and EI Alamein. The Italian Army played a significant role as part of the German Afrika Korps and made up a large portion of the Axis combat power in North Africa during 1941 and 1942. In the interest of determining how the Italian Army earned the reputation that it did, it is necessary to analyse why and how the Italians fought.
