In addition to its major role in North Africa, Italy's army invaded, and later bore the main burden of occupying, the Balkan countries. Italy also sent 250,000 men to fight on the Russian Front. In this second book of a three-part study Philip Jowett covers the organisation, uniforms and insignia of the Italian troops committed to both the North African campaign, and the often neglected East African fighting of 1940-41, including the colourful colonial units. Stephen Andrew's meticulous colour plates illustrate a wide range of uniforms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Jowett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855328658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855328655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.71h x 7.26w x 0.15d","brand":"Philip Jowett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984423026943,"sku":"9781855328655","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e09012d2-3c9f-465b-a3bb-2fd384914a3a.jpg?v=1683272226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-italian-army-1940-45-2-philip-jowett-9781855328655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
