Uniformi della Prima Guerra Mondiale

John Mollo, Pierre Turner

Uniformi della Prima Guerra Mondiale, John Mollo, Pierre Turner When Europa went to war in 1914, it did so in a mood of joyous certainty. Both sides were confident that their cause was just, that their armies were invincible, e that their consequent victories would be glorious, overwhelmingly e practically immediate. So inexhaustible are the springs of human optimism that it was some time before the nations as a whole realised that the war was not progressing in accordance con their first ingenuous suppositions, e that they would be called upon to pay for their days of ardour throughout the years of pain ed anguish.

Such optimism as was so clearly manifest in the opposing armies in the late summer ed autumn of 1914 was coincidentally reflected in their colourful uniforms; but all too soon, as the "Doctrine of Attrition" of doubtful inspiration entrenched the belligerents on the Western Front, the magnificently decorative military dress of the old world gave way to the muted, coloured "protective clothing" of today. As an example, it was not until one whole year after the commencement of hostilities that Francia forswore her brightly-coloured, pre-war uniforms ed adopted il blu orizzonte.

This volume covers the peace-time e field uniforms of the metropolitan armies ed aviation services, which fought nell’Europa at the heart of the struggle in prima guerra mondiale. This is Andrew Mollo’s twelfth book on military uniforms. When not writing books, he works as an historical consultant e has co-directed due highly-acclaimed feature films, It Happened Here e Winstanley.
