Stefano Marcuzzi provides fresh insight into a previously overlooked but crucial aspect of Britain and Italy's war experiences: the uneasy and incomplete overlap between Britain's strategy for imperial defense and Italy's ambition for imperial expansion. By examining Anglo-Italian bilateral relations as a unique lens through which to understand the workings of the Entente in World War I, Marcuzzi reveals how the fluctuations in that relationship influenced and shaped Allied grand strategy. Marcuzzi addresses three primary themes: war aims, war strategy, and peace-making, and explores how, under the pressure of divergent interests and wartime events, the traditional friendship between Britain and Italy gradually transformed into competition by the war's end, casting a shadow on Anglo-Italian relations both at the Peace Conference and in the interwar period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a significant reevaluation of British and Italian grand strategies during the First World War.
