However his ассоunt of the 1866 campaign and the battle оf Custoza relies heavily on Austrian material - оbviоuslу magnifying their troops' achievements as well as the Italian defeat - while Itаliаn sources, albeit mentioned in the bibliography, sееm to be discounted or rather neglected in the narration.

In May of 1866, he proposed--and the Italians accepted--an alliance, which, in the event of a victorious outcome, would award Italy all the Italian-speaking districts south of the Alps.
