English-speaking readers tend to think of this army in terms of the North African campaign; but far more Italian troops served in other theatres. They invaded, and later bore the major burden of occupying, the Balkan countries; and Italy sent 250,000 troops to fight on the Russian Front. In this, the first of a three-part study, Philip Jowett covers the European theatre - including Russia - from 1940 to Italy's armistice with the Allies in 1943. Many interesting uniforms, a number of them new to most readers, are meticulously illustrated by Stephen Andrew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52106094674208,"sku":"NEW185532864X","price":23.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91mRqBuoUaL.jpg?v=1785825099","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/italian-army-1940-1945-185532864x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
