Foreign Policies and Military Instruments: 3. Fascism and Italian foreign policy: continuity and break -- 4. The Italian army at war, 1940-43: a study in combat effectiveness -- 5. The Prussian idea of freedom and the 'career open to talent': battlefield initiative and social ascent from Prussian reform to Nazi revolution, 1807-1944 -- Conclusion: expansionist zeal, fighting power, and staying power in the Italian and German dictatorships. 520 This book analyzes the origins, nature, dynamics, and ruinous end of the Italian and German dictatorships. Emphasizing themes of aggression, fighting power, and staying power, it offers a comparative overview of the two countries' trajectories from unification in the 1860s to national catastrophe in 1943-45. It evaluates Mussolini's foreign policy, a subject still inadequately explored and poorly understood, and offers a novel and compelling interpretation of the synthesis of Prusso-German military tradition and Nazi revolution, which was a key factor in Germany's ability to fight to the bitter end. 580 The Roger Griffin ComFas Collection 650 0 Fascism |zItaly |xHistory. 650 0 National socialism. 651 0 Italy |xForeign relations |y1922-1945. 651 0 Italy |xPolitics and government |y1922-1945. 651 0 Germany |xForeign relations |y1933-1945. 651 0 Germany |xPolitics and government |y1933-1945. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6943_080000000000000_KNO |70 |8GEN |9161232OSA |bOSA |d2023-01-26 |eComFas |l0 |o943.08 KNO |r2023-01-26 |w2023-01-26 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 QorZ9OoG 992 01 943_080000000000000_KNO |bQVW_ZRZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_FCB 966 |cIn the Research Room
