Robert Mallett argues that the Duce's aggressive war against the Mediterranean powers, Britain and France, was to secure access to the world's oceans. Mussolini actively pursued the Italo-German alliance to gain a Fascist empire stretching from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Coverage of the Italian Political View in the 30's,
By
This review is from: The Italian Navy and Fascist Expansionism, 1935-1940 (Cass Series: Naval Policy and History) (Paperback)
This book really digs into how Mussolini and other high ranking Italian officials viewed the strategic situation in the Med. Sea during the 30's. It also describes Italy's situation (both economically and militarily). As the 30's progressed, Italy's alliances and foriegn policy changed. It is interesting to see how this happened, and why. Author did a very fine and detailed job. Very highly researched material. A must for any navy buff interested in Med naval warfare in WWII!
