Challenging the views of Benito Mussolini's Italian biographer,
Renzo De Felice, this book argues that the Duce's aggressive war
against the predominant Mediterranean powers, Britain and France,
was the only means whereby Italy might secure access to the world's
oceans. Following Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Mussolini
actively pursued the Italo-German alliance which he believed would
enable him to conquer a Fascist empire stretching from the
Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. By the eve of Italy's entry in
the world war II, the Fascist administration had commissioned
substantial new capital-ship programmes, and created a major
surface and underwater fleet that seemed to post a serious
challenge to the strategic position of Great Britain in the
Mediterranean and Red Sea.
