From the Publisher
The struggle between the Axis powers and the Allies in the Mediterranean region is considered by some to be the first truly modern war. Transportation on water, air, and land became vital to both sides of the conflict. This detailed and fascinating book follows this part of the war from the rise of Mussolini to the defeat of the Axis powers in 1945, and includes maps and powerful photographic images from the battlefield.
