Vincere! presents an overview of the counterinsurgency operations carried out by the Italian Royal Army from 1922 to 1941 in Libya and Ethiopia. Based on ten years of study conducted in the Italian archives and on the ground, this volume looks at a period when the Italian Royal Army faced significant new challenges in the conduct of war. Facing new challenges in an atypical theater of war, Italian Royal Army forces learned significant lessons that would shape the conduct of future combat. In the period covered in this work, Italian Royal Army forces had to adapt to new terrain, while modifying their techniques and methods in relation to the local populations and the overall characteristics of the territories in Africa. Moving away from a reliance on heavy, slow battalions formed for the most part by Italian troops, the Italians instead turned to mobile units, lightly armed and composed primarily by African troops who were able to respond quickly to the needs of this kind of war. Men coming from the loyal Eritrean colony, from Somalia, Libya, from the countries on the Red Sea and even from Ethiopia, progressively replaced Italian troops. In Libya, warfighting and counterinsurgency operations were conducted mainly by regular infantry (Libyan battalions, Méharists, Saharian) and cavalry units (Savaris and Spahis), while in Ethiopia, regular and irregular bands were used. Vincere! offers a look at some of the earliest irregular warfare and counterinsurgency operations the modern Italian forces ever conducted.



Italian forces faced local populations while conducting counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in what was, for them, a new theater of war. In Libya, the rebellion was quelled in the space of ten years, at an admittedly high price for the regional forces. In Ethiopia, where COIN operations were interrupted by World War II, the available data suggests that military actions, accompanied by a more responsible policy toward the population, would have eventually defeated the insurgency. The use of airpower in Ethiopia made a huge difference, and its lessons were learned long before the French experience in Algeria. The Italians waged counterinsurgency operations over twenty years in two geographically separate theaters, and in two very different operational environments and much of value for current practitioners and scholars can be learned from these different experiences.

5,0 su 5 stelle Comparative analysis of the two Italian colonial campaigns in Africa
Recensito in Italia il 7 ottobre 2020
This is a study not only for technicians. It is a simple, clear book that shows some of the fundamental points of the Italian counterinsurgency campaigns in Africa. It is clearly the synthesis of other studies unfortunately published only in Italian. Old lessons (good military approaches and bad political mistakes) are still valid today. Highly recommended

5,0 su 5 stelle Acclaimed Study of Italian Counterinsuregency Operations
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 aprile 2020
Acquisto verificato
Vincere" The Italian Royal Counter-insurgency Operations in Africa, 1922-1940, written by Federica Fasanotti, is pretty much the first serious work in English on this subject. In reading it, you realize why General Mattis, and other notables, such as the head of the NATO Joint Force Command and a former Chief of Defense for Italy, have so highly praised it. The Forward is by Gen Allen USMC (Ret.)

It's amazing how much information and understanding of the counter-insurgency operations
she is able to put into this study of 139 pages. It is a study, not a history, and hence not in chronological order, but a study clearly aimed at the academic and practitioner audiences.

The study is in two parts, Libyan Operations and Ethiopian Operations, broken further down by 23 very short chapters dealing with specific topics (Libyan Environment, Garrison Network in Libya, Libyan Population, Ethiopian Environment, Garrison Network in Ethiopia, Ethiopian Population, etc.).

Professor Fasanotti believes the Italian Army was far better at fighting irregular wars than regular ones. The Italian Army was, after nine years, successful in defeating the insurgency in Libya. It was well on its doing the same in Ethiopia in the fourth year of conflict when World War II swept their efforts away.
The counter-insurgency operations had many missteps along the way, which is always the case no matter who was in charge of the operations . But fairly successful efforts were based on certain concepts. The Italian army understood from the beginning that the population support or at least its acquiescence was the center of gravity. And that the political side was at least as important as the military. The Italians often took prisoners when they could and treated them well (Though when "rehabilitated" and released. they were often found fighting, killing/Italians again). They did their best to protect "submitted" populations, punish crimes committed by Italian soldiers against the native people, rule through natives, etc. One of the Chief leaders of the insurgency wrote of two high-ranking Italian officials

"The number one enemies of Ethiopia are Duca d' Aosta and General Nasi because with their magnanimity they damp the feelings of Independence."

Italy also began a massive program to educate the general population and built a railroad/road system, hospitals, clinics, etc. All paid by the Italian taxpayers. It should be noted that while the Italians were the invaders and committed crimes against the population, including executing villagers who were only suspected of supplying insurgents, the insurgents committed their own crimes. They never took prisoners but would torture them to death by the most brutal means of any Italian soldier who came into their hands. The insurgents would not allow anyone to be neutral. Not only villages that were "submitted' to the Italians but villages that refused to give monetary "donations" and food/men to the insurgents would be attacked. In Ethiopia, the insurgents would kill the men, cut off the women's breasts, and castrate the boys.

As for the Military side of the counter-insurgency, Italy depended on indigenous volunteers and other volunteers from the Italian colonies. Though normally commanded by Italian officers. This was cheaper than using Italian troops, and the Italian command considered the indigenous troops to be more mobile and had better endurance than the Italian troops. These light, very mobile columns aided immeasurably by air power did well against the insurgents.-though of course, not always.

It was by these concepts (besides a massive bard wire project in Libya to separate the population from the insurgents.), among others, including a healthy respect for the insurgents' fighting abilities and a belief to never let up on the insurgents and to put to constantly put pressure on them that enable the Italian army to have the success that it did. Though of course, again, there were many mishaps and mistakes in the way.

While one is tempted to say any short book strongly praised by General Mattis is worthy of anybody's time, this book does have a textbook flavor to it. Professor Fasanotti clearly was trying to give the reader
an understanding of the different concepts of insurgencies and counter-insurgencies and how those concepts are interrelated. And to tell it in a book that does not take much time to read. Not to tell a history( though by the time the reader is finished, they will have a basic understanding of the history) or entertain the reader.
This book is probably only worthwhile for those with a deep interest in counter-insurgency, but for these people, it is priceless.

Two notes: There is only one overall map of Africa. Though this is not a study where maps are needed, the reader may want to google the appropriate maps. Also, many Italian or native terms
are used. There is a glossary in the back that explain their meanings.

3,0 su 5 stelle Specialty book for Officers
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 agosto 2021

This book is a collection of military thoughts and ideas generated largely by the Italian military while fighting in Libya and later Ethiopia from 1911 to 1940 - NOT your typical essay style narrative. It is aimed at officers, especially the USMC, for handling and addressing insurgency and counterinsurgency. This is NOT for the general reader. It has a complete lack of maps so one must be familiar with the geography, and there are some poorly edited translations - I seriously doubt that an Italian cavalry squadron in 1924 contained 42 forklifts (p41) - should be supply carts. This book belongs in the catagory with General Garnet Wolseley THE SOLDIER'S POCKET-BOOK FOR FIELD SERVICE.
