Italy at War presents a commanding historical account of Italy’s tumultuous role in World War II, blending political analysis with vivid military chronicle. This nonfiction volume situates Mussolini’s fascist regime at the heart of Italy’s wartime trajectory, detailing its alliance with Nazi Germany, the disastrous campaigns in North Africa and Greece, and the eventual collapse under Allied invasion. Adams illustrates the internal fractures within Italian society, the rise of partisan resistance, and the dramatic shift following Mussolini’s ousting. Richly illustrated and meticulously structured, the book argues that Italy’s war was as much a civil reckoning as a global conflict, marked by ideological upheaval and national disillusionment. It stands as a definitive resource for readers seeking insight into the complexities of Italy’s wartime experience and its lasting historical consequences.
