Italian performance in the First World War has been generally
disparaged or ignored compared to that of the armies on the Western
Front, and troop morale in particular has been seen as a major
weakness of the Italian army. In this first book-length study of
Italian morale in any language, Vanda Wilcox reassesses Italian
policy and performance from the perspective both of the army as an
institution and of the ordinary soldiers who found themselves
fighting a brutally hard war. Wilcox analyses and contextualises
Italy's notoriously hard military discipline along with leadership,
training methods and logistics before considering the reactions of
the troops and tracing the interactions between institutions and
individuals. Restoring historical agency to soldiers often
considered passive and indifferent, Wilcox illustrates how and why
Italians complied, endured or resisted the army's demands through
balancing their civilian and military identities.
