by quechua on 07 Aug 2012 15:01 Over the years I've seen many questions on this forum regarding the Italian army's performance, relationship with Germans, etc. I came across a Master's thesis written by a graduate student in Diplomacy and Military Studies at Hawaii Pacific University titled "Broken Fasces: Historical Perceptions On The Failure Of Fascist Italy ". It's an interesting read and one of the most insightful works I've seen in the English language in general about Italy's participation in the war and more specifically about her military, especially in North Africa. I think the paper will also be of interest to those interested in the North African campaign in general as the paper isn't focused entirely on the Italian army. It's 88 pages long, 94 if you include the bibliography.
