The Cid, an Arab nickname meaning "the Lord", has been called the "most famous Spaniard of all time". Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar was a Castillan military and political leader in medieval Spain. He was an outstanding general, first leading the Spanish against the Moors in victorious battles, then working as a mercenary-general for whoever would require a war won. He eventually captured the city of Valencia, keeping it to himself and ruling it until his death. His remarkable military ability made him the legendary national hero of Spain. He remains an idolized figure in Spain, and his name has been immortalized in every form of story.

A Caporetto vincono i tedeschi e non gli austriaci, in una battaglia per loro del tutto secondaria e su un fronte privo di qualunque importanza strategica. Analizzare come e perché l'offensiva venne decisa, progettata e realizzata consente di gettare uno sguardo in profondità sui fallimenti dell'esercito italiano; consente altresì di considerare l'organizzazione di un'istituzione, l'esercito tedesco, che sarà di lì a poco nuovamente tragica protagonista della nostra storia.

In poche ore, le difese vennero travolte e la sconfitta si trasformò in tragedia nazionale. Oggi sappiamo che quel giorno i nostri soldati hanno combattuto, eccome, finché hanno potuto. Ma perché l'esercito italiano si è rivelato così fragile, fino al punto di crollare?
