While Adolf Hitler was the architect of World War II, the immense military conflict that consumed the Mediterranean between 1940-45 was Mussolini's war. For nearly five years the forces of Italy and Britain and their allies fought each other for supremacy in the sea, in the air, and on the shores of the Mediterranean. The story includes some of the most compelling actions of World War II: torpedo attacks on Italian battleships at Taranto, the ferocious large-scale tank battles in North Africa including the Battle of El Alamein, the Axis bombardment of Malta, and Allied amphibious landings in North Africa, Italy, and southern France.

Anthony Tucker-Jones gives the background to these battles and many more, as well as profiling the generals who made their names there. They includes Erwin Rommel, the 'desert fox'; Bernard Montgomery and his 'desert rats', and the barnstorming George S. Patton.
