Faber & faber White war (Faber & Faber)

A compelling and moving account of a largely ignored but highly significant First World War campaign - the invasion of Austria by Italy - which cost the lives of over a million men and gave birth to Fascism.

Using accounts from some of the many modernist writers who took part in the campaign, including Hemmingway, the author of }The Paper House{, an account of the fall of Yugoslavia, brings to life a forgotten conflict that shaped modern Italy.
