		The 8th Isonzo Battle was the second in a series of three, which took place in September, October and December 1916 and which were conceived as a mean to help Roumania, which had entered the war on the Entente's side on the 27th August 1916.
		The former 6th Isonzo Battle had ended with a consistent victory for Italian forces, leading to the conquest of the very important city of Gorizia.
		The area where the 7th, 8th and 9th battles took place was admirable for defence and A-H positions were well organized and prepared.

	Review of The Twelfth Battle Of Isonzo from the theatre dance and drama in Wales web site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the Twelfth Battle of Isonzo, the theatre-goer unfamiliar with the English playwright’s work will get what amounts to a master class in the issues and techniques that have become the hallmark of this challenging artist.
		One is immediately struck by style— not simply the style of his writing, which is a sometimes heady, sometimes impenetrable feast of verbiage, of poetry and scatology, but the style of his blocking, of the way he directs actors to move across the stage.
		Isonzo proves to be a more than able adversary, and soon has stripped her of her illusions— and her wedding gown— and all through words, words that wound, manipulate, deceive, and disarm.

	Battle of Caporetto
		In mid-September 1917, the Italian High Command brought the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo to a close and put its forces on the defensive because of fears that the Germans might be about to intervene.
		The surprise attack was launched at Tolmino, a small bridgehead on the west bank of the Isonzo, early in the morning of 24 October, with an artillery and gas bombardment that lasted for five hours.
		Seventy miles from the Isonzo front, it was a torrent rather than a river, much shorter in length and an excellent natural barrier to any further enemy advance.
