This is the first authoritative study of the Italian armed forces
and the relationship between the military and foreign policies of
Fascist Italy from Mussolini's rise to power in 1922 to the
catastrophic defeat of 1940. Using extensive new research, John
Gooch explores the nature and development of the three armed
forces, their relationships with Mussolini and the impact of his
policies and command, the development of operational and strategic
thought, and the deployment and use of force in Libya, Abyssinia
and Spain. He emphasizes Mussolini's long-term expansionist goals
and explains how he responded to the structural pressures of the
international system and the contingent pressures of events. This
compelling account shows that while Mussolini bore ultimate
responsibility for Italy's fateful entry into the Second World War,
his generals and admirals bore a share of the blame for defeat
through policies that all too often rested on irrationality and
incompetence.
