A review by dionisiomulone
Mussolini's War: Fascist Italy from Triumph to Collapse, 1935-1943 by John Gooch
informative
slow-paced
4.5
Mussolini’s war by John Gooch is an impeccable review of the Italian military endeavors during Mussolini’s tenure. I must admit I made a mistake and thought the book would analyze political history, but that was my mistake for not reading the summary properly. In this vein, the author arrives to cohesive conclusions regarding the political situation and consequences of the regime under the light (and stress) of the military situation. I would encourage people with a vested interest in military history to check this up, for it is – once again – impeccable. If your interest (like mine) lays in political history, I would also recommend you pick this one up, for you may found various previously unknown facts and reasonings.
Of particular interest to me, and demonstrations of excellent research, were the chapters on the war in the Balkans (Chapter 6) and the last days of the regime (Chapter 9).
