Reseña del libro "The Generalissimo. Luigi Cadorna and the Italian Army, 1850–1928 (en Inglés)"
\n
\nMajor new biography tracing the rise, command and reputation of the controversial Luigi Cardorna from his appointment to the head of the Italian army to defeat at Caporetto in 1917. Marco Mondini delves into how ideology and psychology combined to create an untouchable autocrat.
\n
\nLuigi Cardorna remains one of the most controversial generals in Italian history. Appointed chief of the armed forces in 1914, he led the Italian army in the field from May 1915 until the aftermath of their calamitous defeat at Caporetto in 1917. In this major new biography, Marco Mondini traces Cardorna''s rise, the nature of his command, the course of the Isonzo campaign, and the battles over his post-war reputation. He brings a new cultural perspective to Cardorna''s life, demonstrating the role of Italy''s military and national culture, the myths of the Risorgimento, and the mobilization of propaganda in creating an effective cult of personality. Utilizing ego-documents, memoirs, letters and public writings, Mondini delves into the ideology and psychology that combined to create such an untouchable autocrat, arguing that the history of fascism in Italy cannot be fully understood without appreciating Cardorna''s role in the First World War.
