According to Amazon this is the first complete WW I Italy front history book written in English, I wonder whether there is any friend here has already read this book and could give me a review? Thanks!

Hello,

I picked up the hardback trilogy a month or so ago. I have not started to read these as yet, but they look great! A real effort by the author!!!

Mainly material from the Italian side, but plenty from the Austro-Hungarian to give a good balance. He is also working on a tv doco - not sure about any other details to date.

Simply the work to reference with regard to the Italo-Austro Front!!

Enjoy!
