Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Triple to the Quadruple Alliance: Why Italy Went to War Taly's active participation in the war was the work of _the nation, not of the Government. Had the decision been left to the Parliament, to the acknowledged leaders of the people, to the Cabinet or even to all three combined, it must have fallen out differently. Neither Professor Salandra nor Baron Sonnino would have gone back to office after their defeat by Signor Giolitti in May. The Dictator, or else a lieutenant of his choice, would have been entrusted with the reins of power by the King who in this matter had always dis played a meticulous respect for constitutional forms, and Austria's belated offers would have been accepted by the Consulta. But the nation, wroth with the representatives who had misrepresented it, wrested from them for a moment the powers it had bestowed and reversed their decision. It was the act of a moment. Its effect was to impart direction to policy, not to prescribe ways and means. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Soldier on the Southern Front written by Emilio Lussu and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rediscovered World War I masterpiece—one of the few memoirs about the Italian front—for fans of military history and All Quiet on the Western Front An infantryman’s “harrowing, moving, [and] occasionally comic” account of trench warfare on the alpine front seen in A Farewell to Arms (Times Literary Supplement). Taking its place alongside works by Ernst JŸnger, Robert Graves, and Erich Maria Remarque, Emilio Lussu’s memoir as an infantryman is one of the most affecting accounts to come out of the First World War. A classic in Italy but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, it reveals in spare and detached prose the almost farcical side of the war as seen by a Sardinian officer fighting the Austrian army on the Asiago plateau in northeastern Italy—the alpine front so poignantly evoked by Ernest Hemingway in A Farewell to Arms. For Lussu, June 1916 to July 1917 was a year of continuous assaults on impregnable trenches, absurd missions concocted by commanders full of patriotic rhetoric and vanity but lacking in tactical skill, and episodes often tragic and sometimes grotesque, where the incompetence of his own side was as dangerous as the attacks waged by the enemy. A rare firsthand account of the Italian front, Lussu’s memoir succeeds in staging a fierce indictment of the futility of war in a dry, often ironic style that sets his tale wholly apart from the Western Front of Remarque and adds an astonishingly modern voice to the literature of the Great War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Italy Is at War In England, at this moment, the question of Home Rule for Ireland was threatening to reach _a violent crisis. In Russia the government was fully occupied in dealing with internal unrest and strikes of obscure origin. In Italy the recent labour troubles were still giving cause for anxiety; moreover, on account of the long and exhausting campaign in Libya and the negli gence of the Italian government, the country was quite unprepared for another war. The moment therefore had clearly arrived for Germany to realize her cherish ed dream of hegemony in Northern Europe, and for Austria to gain that Balkan supremacy which had been snatched from 'her hands by the two Balkan wars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Italy Is With the Allies The power of this great national movement has fortunately been directed only to the securing of Italian liberty and not to the oppression of others. No doubt the reason of this is the fortunate fact that no alien race dwells beside the Italian within the boundaries of the Peninsula. There is no one for the Italian to. Oppress. But the result has been the sustained purity and idealism of patriotic emotion there, from the time of Mazzini's Young Italy to our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy at War The position and influence of the Papacy afford one of the most interesting topics in Italy to-day, and I have inquired into them with diligence; but after careful reflection I have come to the conclusion that the public interest is best served by making no reference whatever to them during the war. Suffice it to say that there are forty clerical deputies in the Chamber, and the Vatican controls two hundred and eighty seats, whose members must take good care not to offend by voting against religious education or any other proposal of great importance to the Clerical Party. I have sought to emphasise a point of view that is general and increasing in Italy: that it is unworthy of great cities and a great nation to depend unduly on tourists who come to gape idly at noble monuments. But I hope that my neglect of paint and masonry may not be construed as ignorance of the fact that Italy has been the mother of the arts, the torch-bearer of civilisation throughout the dark ages, the creator and giver of all the colours and perfumes and joys still left for dreamers' souls. The point is that, during and after war, Italy must concern herself more particularly with sober, practical matters, such as trade and commerce and the enemy's confusion in every walk of life. Italy saved Europe when she took the civilised side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The White War written by Mark Thompson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1915, Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire. Nearly 750,000 Italian troops were killed in savage, hopeless fighting on the stony hills north of Trieste and in the snows of the Dolomites. To maintain discipline, General Luigi Cadorna restored the Roman practice of decimation, executing random members of units that retreated or rebelled. With elegance and pathos, historian Mark Thompson relates the saga of the Italian front, the nationalist frenzy and political intrigues that preceded the conflict, and the towering personalities of the statesmen, generals, and writers drawn into the heart of the chaos. A work of epic scale, The White War does full justice to the brutal and heart-wrenching war that inspired Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great War Book: With Maps and Diagrams SO it came about that the freeing of Italy from the Alps to Sicily had to be accomplished by the brave hearts and stout arms of its own people. In 1882, Italy, under the lead of icrispi, leagued herself to Germany and Austria, in the Triple Alliance. But she is little more than a sleeping partner in the Group. Her situation in the Mediterranean, and old ties of gratitude and interest draw her sympathies toward England and France. On the other hand, Austria is her hereditary enemy. Portions of unredeemed Italy, notably the distinctively Italian port of Trieste, are still under Austrian sway, and Austrian ambitions in the Adri atic, the Latin sea of bygone ages, are Viewed with profound con cern in Rome.
