'Historians who have been anxiously waiting for a successful updated history of the lead-up to Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 need wait no longer. Robert Mallett's meticulously researched account skilfully ties together Italy's diplomacy, military strategy and political calculation. Professor Mallett carefully guides us through Mussolini's tortured manoeuvrings in holding Hitler at bay from seizing Austria while proceeding with his own overseas invasion plans. The Duce's aggression was no bizarre flight of fancy but integral to Fascism's way of doing business. Resting his narrative on solid archival sources, Professor Mallett, in marvellous prose, gives us an eminently readable narrative that at the same time is an historical tour de force of research and creative thought.'
