This Title Tells The Fascinating Story Of World War Ii'S Forgotten Strategic Bombing Campaignthe Raf'S Perilous, Longrange Missions, Flying From English Bases Against The Industry, Cities, And Dockyards Of Mussolini'S Italy.Between June 1940 And August 1943, Raf Bomber Command Undertook A Littleknown Strategic Bombing Campaign In Europe. The Target Was Mussolini'S Italy. This Air Campaign Was A Key Part Of The Strategic Policy Of Britain From 1940 To 1943, Which Aimed At Securing Italy'S Early Surrender. However, It Posed Unique Challenges, Not Least Of Which Was Italy'S Natural Defenses Of Distance And The Alps.The Bombing Campaign Against Italy Can Be Divided Into A Number Of Phases, With Each One Having Its Own Specific Goals Such As Affecting Italian War Production Or Hindering The Italian Navy'S War In The Mediterranean. However, Each Also Furthered The Ultimate Aim Of Forcing Italy'S Final Capitulation, Demonstrating That The Tactic Of Areabombing Was Not Just About The Destruction Of An Enemy'S Cities, As It Could Also Fulfill Wider Strategic And Political Objectives. Indeed, The Intensity And Frequency Of Attack Was Greatly Controlled, And The Heavy Bombing Of Italy Was Only Ever Sanctioned By Britain'S Civilian War Leaders To Achieve Both Military And Political Goals. The Issue Of Targetselection Was Also Subject To A Similar Political Restriction; Cities And Ports Like Milan, Turin, Genoa, And La Spezia Were Sanctioned Under An Official Directive, But Other Places, Such As Verona, Venice, Florence And, Above All, Rome, Remained Offlimits.This Fascinating Title From British Strategic And Military History Expert Dr Richard Worrall Explores The Political, Motivational And Strategic Challenges Of The Campaign In Full. His Thorough Analysis And Meticulous Research Is Supported By Specially Commissioned Artwork, Maps, And Contemporary Photographs.
