Radio War Nerd, Episode #48—Italy in WWI (Patreon)

Italian Front in WWI

After barely surviving a camping trip in the Italian Alps, the War Nerd returns to Turin to tell the little-known, gory story of the Italian Front in World War I. It begins with a comically loathsome celebrity poet, Gabriele d'Annunzio, and ends — after hundreds of thousands of gruesome pointless deaths, and a lot of half-baked Nietzschean blather —  in Mussolini's Fascist takeover . . .
