Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-26 00:00:00 Adam Doing This book is a comprehensive review of all the factors that contributed towards the Italian armed forces being for the most part "hollow legions" from WW1 thru WW2. It's a quick read and makes persuasive points. The author includes copious amounts of footnotes lest anyone think he's just painting with broad strokes. The only reason this isn't a 5-star book is that I found the author tended to indulge in very long, as if trying to squeeze in everything to minimize the sentence count, sentences such as this one I just wrote. Otherwise, great insights and a very worthwhile read.

This is a slim volume and presumably merely hits the high points, but it is well worth reading if you have the slightest interest in the topic.
