A fascinating study of one of the often overlooked World War II campaigns as British/Commonwealth, Indigenous and Italian forces battled for control of the Horn of Africa. In mid-1940, Italy's East African colonies posed a significant threat to the British Empire, and in particular to the flow of supplies through the Red Sea to Egypt. British High Command feared moves from Italian East Africa and so sent reinforcements to its positions in Kenya and Sudan. Thus began a series of clashes across East Africa, with the British attempting to keep the Italians isolated and unable to threaten British supply lines. In March 1941, British theatre commander General Archibald Wavell opted for a lightning campaign to eliminate the Italian threat for good. Italian military historian Pier Paolo Battistelli provides a fresh account of this campaign, from the initial Italian attacks to the Allied counter-offensive into Eritrea, Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland. Among the actions covered are Addis Ababa, Amba Alagi, Gondar, Tug Argan, and Keren. This work presents an assessment of the forces involved of both sides, including Orde Wingate's Gideon force, pro-Selassié Ethiopian irregulars and Eritrean and Somalian troops, as well as Indian, South African, British and Italian regular forces. With colourful artwork, detailed maps and diagrams, this book highlights an overlooked World War II campaign and the bloody fight for the Horn of Africa.

对第二次世界大战中一个经常被忽视的战役进行了一次 fascinating的研究，该战役涉及英国/英联邦、土著和意大利部队之间的战斗，争夺厄立特里亚（Horn of Africa）的控制权。 1940年中期，意大利东非殖民地对大英帝国构成了重大威胁，尤其是对通过红海到埃及的物资供应构成威胁。英国高指挥官担心来自意大利东非的行动，并派遣增援部队至肯尼亚和苏丹的驻军。这样就引发了在东非地区的一系列冲突，英国试图让意大利孤立并无法威胁英国的补给线。1941年3月，英方战区总指挥阿奇博尔德·瓦尔斯将军选择了快速行动来彻底消除意大利的威胁。 意大利军事历史学家皮耶罗·保罗·巴蒂斯塔尼提供了一个这个战役的新叙述，从最初意大利的进攻到盟军对厄立特里亚、埃塞俄比亚和意大利索马里的反攻。该书涵盖了包括奥德·温吉特的吉多凡部队在内的行动，以及支持塞尔比西的埃塞俄比亚民兵、厄立特里亚和索马里的军队，还包括印度、南非、英国和意大利的正规军。通过色彩丰富的插图、详细的地图和图表，这本书突出了一个被忽视的世界大战II战役，并强调了对厄立特里亚半岛的血腥战斗。
