Book Description
Excerpt from The War Against Germany and Italy: Mediterranean and Adjacent Areas This collection of some five hundred pictures dramatically amplifies the written record of World War II in the Mediterranean Theater and the Middle East. The images freeze in place the soldiers, the weapons, the operations, the geography, and the tenor of the moment. Major General Orlando Ward's Foreword to the first edition (see next page) describes this visual dimension as essential to fully understanding military history. The War/1 gainst Germany and Italy: Mediterranean and Adjacent Areas was one of the first volumes in the United States Anny in World War 11 series, and it has stood the test of time. In its detailed coverage, the book has also served as a useful resource for anyone seeking to illustrate this stage of the war. Although this second edition keeps all the original photographs, captions, and short narrative historical introductions to each section, we have taken sev eral steps to improve the appearance, currency, and utility of the book. We obtained new prints of the photographs to ensure their clarity, replacing the old printing negatives. We also removed outdated references and developed an appendix that provides more detailed information on the sources and cataloging numbers of the photographs to assist those who want to get their own prints. In visually documenting the World War 11 experience, this is an invaluable col lection. In publishing this upgraded edition, we hope to revive and expand the book's effectiveness in promoting an awareness of the determination, courage, and sacrifices of the American soldier in World War 11. Similar second editions of the other two pictorial volumes in the World War series are in preparation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Germany and the Axis Powers from Coalition to Collapse

Book Description
It seemed that whenever Mussolini acted on his own, it was bad news for Hitler. Indeed, the Fuhrer's relations with his Axis partners were fraught with an almost total lack of coordination. Compared to the Allies, the coalition was hardly an alliance at all. Focusing on Germany's military relations with Italy, Romania, Hungary, and Finland, Richard DiNardo unearths a wealth of information that reveals how the Axis coalition largely undermined Hitler's objectives from the Eastern Front to the Balkans, Mediterranean, and North Africa. DiNardo argues that the Axis military alliance was doomed from the beginning by a lack of common war aims, the absence of a unified command structure, and each nation's fundamental mistrust of the others. Germany was disinclined to make the kinds of compromises that successful wartime partnerships demanded and, because Hitler insisted on separate pacts with each nation, Italy and Finland often found themselves conducting counterproductive parallel wars on their own. DiNardo's detailed assessments of ground, naval, and air operations reveal precisely why the Axis allies were so dysfunctional as a collective force, sometimes for seemingly mundane but vital reasons-a shortage of interpreters, for example. His analysis covers coalition warfare at every level, demonstrating that some military services were better at working with their allies than others, while also pointing to rare successes, such as Rommel's effective coordination with Italian forces in North Africa. In the end, while some individual Axis units fought with distinction—if not on a par with the vaunted Wehrmacht—and helped Germany achieve some of its military aims, the coalition's overall military performance was riddled with disappointments. Breaking new ground, DiNardo's work enlarges our understanding of Germany's defeat while at the same time offering a timely reminder of the challenges presented by coalition warfare.
