Discover the Untold Story of Wavell's Campaign Against Italian Forces in 1940-41
While the battles between the British 8th Army and Rommel's Afrika Korps have been extensively studied, little attention has been given to Wavell's campaign against Italian forces in the Western Desert. This overlooked chapter in history, along with the crucial role played by the Australian 6th Division in the eventual Italian defeat, is finally brought to light in this captivating book.
Unveiling the Truth Behind Italian Bravery and Australian Assaults
Contrary to wartime propaganda, which labelled the Italian Army as dilettantes, the truth is far different. Many Italian units displayed incredible bravery, and the Australian assaults on fortress towns like Bardia were anything but a walkover. This book sheds light on the untold stories of courage and resilience exhibited by both sides during this intense conflict.
