E-text prepared by Brian Sogard, Jeannie Howse, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "Italy at War and the Allies in the West" by E. Alexander Powell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents an in-depth exploration of Italy’s role and experiences during World War I, particularly focusing on its battles and strategies along the extensive 450-mile front. The author shares his observations and insights as a correspondent who has directly witnessed the struggles and hardships faced by Italian forces against the Austro-Hungarian army. The opening of the work sets the stage for understanding the significant yet often underappreciated efforts of Italy in the Great War. Powell vividly describes the logistical challenges and the extreme conditions Italian soldiers endured while holding the line against formidable enemy forces. He emphasizes the long-suffering spirit of the troops, recounting their struggles—such as building trenches from solid rock and facing fierce weather conditions—and the strategic importance of their front. Additionally, the narrative touches on the sociopolitical landscape of Italy during the war, highlighting the country's aspirations for territorial expansion and the deep-seated desire for national pride, all of which weave through Powell's compelling depiction of a wartime Italy.
