Britain and Italy in the Era of the Great War: Defending and Forging Empires

This book is part of the "Cambridge Military Histories" series, edited by Jennifer D. Keene, Chapman University, Hew Strachan, St. Andrews University, and Geoffrey Wawro, Military History Center, University of North Texas. The book is - in the words of one review - "a brilliant demonstration of how diplomatic history should be written. The author re-interprets Anglo-Italian relations in the First World War as an asymmetric alliance based on incompatible imperial projects , making the "humiliation" of Italy at Paris in 1919 as inevitable and understandable".
