... high-walled war room of Palazzo Venezia.
Benito Mussolini stood before the great operations map of East Africa.
"Operazione Orestiade begins on the third," he declared.
Around the long oak table sat Marshal De Bono, General Pariani, Marshal Badoglio, and air force representatives.
Mussolini’s finger jabbed at the map just below Adigrat.
