Back in episode 7, I talked to Alexander Fitzgerald-Black about his MA thesis which focused on the allied air campaign in support of Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. Which if you\\u2019re interested has now been released as a book \\u2018Eagles over Husky: The Allied Aire Forces In The Sicilian Campaign, 14 May to 17 August 1943\\u2019.

Alex and I have kept in touch and always said we should do another episode together discussing the Mediterranean campaign.

I was struggling to pin down a topic, when Alex suggested I read Douglas Porch\\u2019s book \\u2018The Path To Victory: The Mediterranean Theater in WWII\\u2019, which focuses on the Mediterranean theatre as a whole. It was a light bulb moment for me, so we\\u2019ve decided to have a look at the Mediterranean Strategy.
