A Closer Look…

Historians often mark the rise and fall of empires by battles won or lost—but in this alternate timeline, Mussolini seeks to build something more enduring. No longer chasing bombastic glory, Italy turns inward, reshaping itself with cold efficiency. Greece falls not to slogans, but to supply chains. And in Africa, a corridor of conquest—engineered by General Giovanni Messe—emerges not through spectacle, but through silence, systems, and submission.

Presa d’Africa unfolds in parallel with Lebensraum, revealing the other half of the Axis strategy as World War II reshapes itself in cascading waves. While German panzers race toward Moscow, Italian convoys push through the Sahara. Both seek permanence—but through very different paths.

For readers who crave rich, plausible alternate history—and prefer stories told with narrative focus and satisfying resolution—Presa d’Africa offers a gripping, self-contained chapter in a world forever altered by a single moment in 1940.
