Al mismo tiempo que permanecía estrechamente alineado con Hitler, Mussolini se mantuvo cuidadosamente neutral hasta el verano de 1940. Entonces, a raíz del hundimiento repentino y totalmente inesperado de los ejércitos franceses y británicos, el Duce declaró la guerra a los Aliados con la esperanza de obtener ventajas territoriales en el sur de Francia y en África.

Aquella decisión resultó ser un terrible error de cálculo, que abocó a Italia a librar una guerra prolongada e imposible de ganar, y la condenó a sufrir ingentes bajas y una invasión de los Aliados en 1943 que inauguró una espantosa nueva era para el país.

Este nuevo libro de John Gooch es la crónica definitiva de la experiencia de Italia en la guerra. Empezando por la invasión de Abisinia y terminando con la detención de Mussolini, Gooch describe brillantemente la pesadilla de un país con un sector industrial demasiado pequeño, con unos líderes demasiado incompetentes, y con demasiados frentes en los que combatir.
