About this book
Chapter II, titled Operations in the Summer and Autumn of 1916, has the writer consider that Italy's participation in the Macedonian expedition was opportune, and indeed indispensable. The text says the Government was finally convinced of this necessity, but accepted it somewhat unwillingly, both for political and military reasons.
The text says the Cagliari Brigade, besides having to overcome the vigorous resistance of the enemy, had to struggle against the snow blizzards over very broken ground, some 2,000 m. above the sea. The text says that on the 15th the Bulgarians abandoned their lines and soon afterwards evacuated Monastir, and that on the 19th a platoon of French cavalry entered the town, followed by the rest of the Franco-Russian column. The text says the capture of Monastir raised Sarrail's prestige, although the exaggerated praises lavished on him by his political friends did him harm.
