Italian Intervention in the Spanish Civil War

ISBN: 9780691617541 出版年：2015 页码：478 Coverdale, John F Princeton University Press

Using hitherto unavailable material from the italian foreign ministry, franco's headquarters, and mussolini's secretariat, john f. Coverdale traces the development of italo-spanish relations from the beginning of the fascist regime. His analysis reveals that traditional foreign policy outweighed ideological and internal political considerations in mussolini's decision making. John f. Coverdale finds that while italy's support was essential to franco's victory, rome exercised very little influence on his decisions.
