The book explores the intricate dynamics of Italo-Spanish relations during the rise of Fascism, utilizing previously inaccessible documents from Italian and Spanish authorities. John F. Coverdale argues that Mussolini's foreign policy decisions were primarily driven by traditional interests rather than ideological motives. He highlights that while Italy's backing was crucial for Franco's success, it did not significantly sway Franco's choices. Furthermore, Coverdale contends that Italy's involvement in the Spanish Civil War played a lesser role in its alignment with Hitler in World War II than commonly thought.
