It was a pygmy among giants, and Hitler's failure to destroy the Soviet Union in 1941 doomed all three Axis powers. But Italy's defeat was unique; the only asset that it conquered - briefly - with its own unaided forces in the entire Second World War was a dusty and useless corner of Africa, British Somaliland. And Italy's forces dissolved in 1943 almost without resistance, in stark contrast to the grim fight to the last cartridge of Hitler's army or the fanatical faithfulness unto death of the troops of Imperial Japan. This book tries to understand why the Italian armed forces and Fascist regime were so remarkably ineffective at an activity - war - central to their existence. It approaches the issue above all from the perspective of military culture, through analysis of the services' failure to imagine modern warfare and through a topical structure that offers a social-cultural, political, military-economic, strategic, operational, and tactical cross-section of the war effort.World War, 1939-1945ItalyFascismItalyItalyHistory1922-1945World War, 1939-1945Fascism940.54/1245Knox MacGregor401663UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910780094503321Hitler's Italian allies3776931UNINA01501nam0 22003013i 450 VAN027050020240228105948.658N978303132975320240130d2023 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||ˆA ‰Numerical Approach to the Classical Laminate Theory of Composite MaterialsThe Composite Laminate Analysis Tool—CLAT v2.0Andreas Öchsner, Resam MakvandiChamSpringer2023XI, 170 p.ill.24 cm001VAN01077362001 Advanced Structured Materials210 HeidelbergSpringer2010-189CHChamVANL001889ÖchsnerAndreasVANV083469317948MakvandiResamVANV2221001372970Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20240614RICAhttps://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-32975-3E-book - Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHEIT-CE0101VAN17NVAN0270500BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE AMBIENTALI BIOLOGICHE E FARMACEUTICHE17CONS e-book 2308 17BIB2308/224 224 20240130 Numerical Approach to the Classical Laminate Theory of Composite Materials3911160UNICAMPANIA
