Mussolini’s War Volume
1:
The
Triumphant Years
“Those who think they know
World War II history will be pleasantly surprised to learn an incredible
array of new details about the entire scope of that conflict, and not just
as it relates to Italy. And I guarantee that Mussolini’s War
will completely change general, preconceived notions of the Second World
War.” — Lt. Col. FORREST P. PATTON, U.S. Marine Corps
Reserve (Ret.)
Among the great misconceptions of modern
times is the assumption that Benito Mussolini was Adolf Hitler’s
junior partner, who made no significant contributions to the Axis effort in
World War II. That conclusion originated with Allied propagandists
determined to boost Anglo-American morale, while undermining Axis
cooperation.
The Duce’s failings, real or imagined, were
inflated and ridiculed, his successes pointedly demeaned or ignored.
Italy’s allegedly “bungling navy, ineffectual army—as
cowardly as it was ill-equipped—and air force of antiquated biplanes
were handily dealt with by the Western Allies,” so the hackneyed,
completely false mainstream story goes. So effective was this
disinformation campaign that it became postwar history, and is still
generally taken for granted, even by otherwise well-informed scholars and
students of World War II—even by many Italians themselves!
But a closer examination by historian and author Frank Joseph of
original, often neglected, recently disclosed materials presents an
entirely different picture. They shine new light, for example, on
Italy’s submarine service, the world’s greatest in terms of
tonnage, its boats sinking nearly three-quarters of a million tons of
Allied shipping in three years’ time.
By mid-1942,
Mussolini’s navy had fought its way back from crushing defeats to
become the dominant power in the Mediterranean Sea. Contrary to popular
belief, Mussolini’s Fiat biplanes gave as good as they got in the
Battle of Britain, and Italy’s Savoia-Marchetti Sparrowhawk bombers
accounted for 72 Allied warships and 196 freighters sunk.
On
June 7, 1942, infantry of the Italian X Corps saved Rommel’s 15th
Brigade near Gazala, in North Africa, from otherwise certain annihilation.
These and numerous other disclosures combine to debunk lingering propaganda
stereotypes of the inept, ineffectual Italian armed forces and their
allegedly inept commanders and supreme leader.
That dated
portrayal is rendered obsolete by a true-to-life account of the men and
weapons of Mussolini’s War: Volume 1—The Triumphant
Years. This book is sure to become a TBR Revisionist
classic—and, better yet, it is designed and published solely by THE
BARNES REVIEW and available nowhere else! Get your copy today—every

THE LOST
HISTORY OF ANCIENT AMERICA
Edited by Frank Joseph. The Lost History of Ancient
America presents new
evidence of transoceanic visitors to old America, hundreds—even
thousands—of years before Christopher Columbus was born. Its eminent
scholar-contributors are experts in a variety of fields, from botany,
biology, and prehistoric engineering to underwater archeology,
archeo-astronomy and Bronze Age warfare.
In ancient times, the sea was
not an impassable barrier separating our ancestors from the outside world,
but a highway taking them to every corner of it. Never before and nowhere
else has so much evidence proving the impact made on America by overseas
visitors been assembled. Here is irrefutable proof that the Americas were,
indeed, influenced by fearless visitors from across the oceans long before
even the Vikings went in search of new lands to settle.
The Lost History of Ancient
America ends the
debate between cultural diffusionists—who have always known that our
ancient ancestors did not consider the sea an impassable barrier—and
cultural isolationists, who have been equally certain that humans lacked
the know-how and courage for global navigation until a little more than 500
years ago.

"In The Lost History of Ancient
America, author Frank Joseph compiles a plethora of
informative articles and documents about the growing evidence of
peoples from across the globe visiting and living in America LONG before
Columbus ever boarded his first ship."—Bruce Cunningham,
