The campaign in North Africa during World War Two was one of the most
important of the conflict. The allies fought for control of North
Africa against the German Afrika Korps led by Rommel. But the part
played by Mussolini's Italian troops, and in particular the armoured
divisions, in support of the Germans is not so well known. This
painstakingly researched book looks in detail at the role of
Mussolini's three armoured divisions - Ariete, Littorio and Centauro -
and the invaluable part they played in Rommel's offensive between 1941
and 1943. Indeed, the author is able to show that on many occasions
the presence and performance of the Italian armoured divisions was
crucial to the success of the axis campaign.
