Target: Italy: The Secret War Against Mussolini 1940-1943

The cloak-and-dagger war fought by British secret agents against Mussolini`s Italy has been little known – until now. Target: Italy is the official history of the efforts of Britain`s Special Operations Executive to strike at Fascist Italy in the Second World War and sever its alliance with Nazi Germany. Drawing on declassified documents, it reveals missions as remarkable as a plot to assassinate Mussolini and plans to arm the Mafia, and brings home the risks that secret agencies run when trying to undermine well-entrenched regimes. A powerful tale of desperate daring, tragic sacrifice and long-held wartime secrets.
