Notes
At the time of publication (2001), this book was said, by the publishers, to be the first account in English of this much overlooked, but important, Great War battlefield located in the mountains between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Not well known in the West, the Battles of Isonzo were ferocious and produced 1.75 million casualties for both sides. In the face of various claims, and perceptions, that neither combatant's armies were viable fighting forces, the author aims to bring the terrible sacrifices endured by both armies back to their rightful place in the history of 20th Century Europe.
