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.
