Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a campaign analysis of the operations on the Italian Front during World War I. The focus of the monograph is to determine if operational art was practiced by the belligerents from the time of Italy's entry into the war in May of 1915 until the surrender of Austria-Hungary in November of 1918. Before beginning the campaign analysis, the paper examines the background to the war for Italy and Austria-Hungary, defines operational art, and establishes the criteria to be used to determine if operational art existed. The paper identifies three battles, the Trentino offensive of 1916, the Battle of Caporetto in 1917, and the Battle of Vittorio-Veneto in 1918, as examples of operational art. However, only the Battle of Vittorio-Veneto achieved the end state that the operational artist wanted. Understanding why Vittorio-Veneto was a complete success for the Italians, and why the Trentino offensive and the Battle of Caporetto did not produce the end state that the Austrians sought, provides lessons for future practitioners of operational art. World War I, Caporetto, Piave, Vittorio-Veneto, Operational art, Austria-Hungary, Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Art: USA in Italy è la seconda tappa di un progetto di ricerca iniziato con War & Art: The Preservation of Italian Treasures. Questo secondo volume sottolinea l'importanza dell'ingresso degli Stati Uniti nella Prima Guerra Mondiale da diverse prospettive. La mostra fotografica, ora esposta al Pentagono, comprende immagini dal Museo del Risorgimento, dal Museo della Battaglia Vittorio Veneto, dal Museo Hemingway e della Grande Guerra, dagli archivi dei Foggiani e del U.S. 332nd Infantry Regiment WWI Centennial Committee, ed è stata coordinata dall'Ambasciata d'Italia a Washington. L'uso di fotografie per sottolineare il rapporto tra guerra e opere d'arte è stato strumento di propaganda nazionale, ma ci ha anche permesso di avere una documentazione dettagliata di ciò che veniva fatto a protezione delle stesse opere. I monumenti? Protetti e avvolti con sacchi di sabbia o alghe. I dipinti? Imballati e inviati in luoghi più sicuri. Gli affreschi? Protetti con materassi. L'Italia è riuscita a proteggere la maggior parte dei suoi tesori artistici – e quindi la propria identità – da uno spietato annullamento. All'epoca i fotografi e i pittori-soldati erano estremamente importanti nel mondo figurativo: attraverso le loro opere - disegni, schizzi e dipinti e, in questo caso, fotografie – hanno catturato gli orrori della guerra e li hanno saputo trasformare in qualcosa di unico: Arte. War and Art: USA in Italy is the second instalment in a longterm research project which started with War & Art: The Preservation of Italian Treasures. This second volume underlines the importance of the entrance of the United States into the war from a number of different perspectives. This photographic exhibition, now on display at the Pentagon, includes images from the Museo del Risorgimento, the Museo della Battaglia Vittorio Veneto, the Museo Hemingway e della Grande Guerra, the archives of the Foggiani and U.S. 332nd Infantry Regiment WWI Centennial Committee, and is the result of a joint effort coordinated by the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C. The use of photographs to underscore the relationship between war and works of art was a domestic propaganda tool, and also provided detailed documentation of efforts made to try and stop these artworks from being damaged and even destroyed. Monuments were protected and wrapped with sacks of sand or seaweed, paintings were packed and sent to safer places, and mattresses placed in front of frescoes and sculptures. Italy preserved most of its artistic treasures – and thus identity – from ruthless annihilation. At the time, photographers and soldier-painters were extremely important in the figurative world: through their works - such as drawings, sketches and paintings, and in this case photos – they captured the horrors of war and transformed them into evidence, as well into something unique: Art.
Book Synopsis Anzio (Operation Shingle): An Operational Perspective by :
Download or read book Anzio (Operation Shingle): An Operational Perspective written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study analyzes the role of operational art in Allied operations at Anzio, Italy and the battle for Rome (January 22-June 4, 1944). As part of the Allied Campaign in Italy, the amphibious assault on Anzio-code-named Operation Shingle, and the subsequent drive to Rome remains one of the most controversial military operations in history. Although the Allies eventually captured Rome from the Germans, the failure to use 'operational thinking' led to a poorly planned and executed operation. Most historical accounts blame the failures at Anzio on the lack of aggressiveness by the Operation Shingle' commander Major General John P. Lucas. However, when viewed in the larger context of the strategy to defeat Germany and the Allied Campaign in Italy, Operation Shingle is a showcase of failure at the operational level of war. Political rather than military considerations drove Shingle-dooming the operation from the start.
Book Synopsis Calculated Risk: Military Theory And The Allies Campaign In Italy, 1943-1944 by : Major Daniel W. Krueger
Download or read book Calculated Risk: Military Theory And The Allies Campaign In Italy, 1943-1944 written by Major Daniel W. Krueger and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1943 allied armies of the United States and Great Britain landed on the European mainland in its “soft underbelly” taking another step toward the defeat of Nazi Germany. Expecting to be in Rome by the end of that year, the Allies instead found themselves embroiled in a prolonged struggle of static warfare reminiscent of the western front of 1915-16. In the end the allied armies suffered 312,000 casualties in a campaign whose purpose was not clearly decided. This monograph examines the Allies campaign in the Mediterranean in 1943-1944 in order to answer the question of whether the Allies could have “won” and, if so, how. More specifically, this study looks at the utility of military theory for explaining cause and effect, and for providing a basis for operational insight and assessment of risk. This particular historical case study is significant in that the challenges of difficult terrain, coalition command, multinational forces, limited resources, and bad weather faced by the operational commanders of this campaign are factors that may weigh heavily for operational commanders in future conflicts. Conclusions reached in this study are threefold. First, the operational commanders involved did not have a true appreciation of the operational risks taken when major operations were designed and executed in January 1944. Second, the operational and strategic commanders may have chosen a different course of action if these risks had been more fully appreciated. Third, classical theory, as represented by the writings of Clausewitz, Jomini, and even Liddell Hart, does have utility in explaining cause and effect and may well have provided the commanders concerned in this case clearer insight at the operational level of war.

Book excerpt: In Napoleon and the Operational Art of War, the leading scholars of Napoleonic military history provide the most authoritative analysis of Napoleon’s battlefield success and ultimate failure.

Book Synopsis Britain and Italy in the Era of the Great War by : Stefano Marcuzzi
Download or read book Britain and Italy in the Era of the Great War written by Stefano Marcuzzi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important reassessment of British and Italian grand strategies during the First World War. Stefano Marcuzzi sheds new light on a hitherto overlooked but central aspect of Britain and Italy's war experiences: the uneasy and only partial overlap between Britain's strategy for imperial defence and Italy's ambition for imperial expansion. Taking Anglo-Italian bilateral relations as a special lens through which to understand the workings of the Entente in World War I, he reveals how the ups-and-downs of that relationship influenced and shaped Allied grand strategy. Marcuzzi considers three main issues – war aims, war strategy and peace-making – and examines how, under the pressure of divergent interests and wartime events, the Anglo-Italian 'traditional friendship' turned increasingly into competition by the end of the war, casting a shadow on Anglo-Italian relations both at the Peace Conference and in the interwar period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Months on the Italian Front: From the Stelvio to the Adriatic, 1915 1916 This book is the result of a few hasty im pressions gathered over a period which, with all its minor inconveniences and little daily worries, I look back upon as among the happiest and best filled of a somewhat varied career. I have not yielded to the temptation to be interesting at the expense Of veracity; to that fact the indulgent reader will, I trust, attribute many of the dull pages. If In the latter half of the book I have laid particular stress on the operations leading u and culminating In the capture of Gorizia, I I'may be forgiven, as I had the good luck to be tg only foreign correspondent on the spot at these scenes of History-making. In my dedication I have paid a humble tribute to the many kindnesses I received at the hands of the Military Authorities, from His Excellency General Cadorna downwards. I can only repeat it here.
