This book offers a completely original approach to the baptism of fire of two key figures of the 20th century: Hitler and Mussolini. For the first time, their two destinies in the Great War are presented as a mirror image, with their own testimonies, in order to show their reaction under fire.

The battles in which they were engaged are described in detail in order to place in context these two ordeals that left their mark on them. In both cases, they were thrown into two lost battles.
