abort

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cancel launch' is the definition.
'abort' can be an answer for 'cancel' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'launch' bit.

'concealed by pietro badoglio going back' is the wordplay.
'concealed' indicates a hidden word.
'going back' is a reversal indicator.
'troba' is hidden in the letters of 'by pietro badoglio'.
'troba' written backwards gives 'ABORT'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
