Benito Mussolini (Critical Lives)

By Alan Axelrod

Benito Mussolini was both better and far worse than the vaguely comic image that is, in part, his legacy. Far from being a Hitler understudy, Mussolini himself was the creator of fascism, one of the two extreme ideological forces (the other being Communism) that between them seduced, subjugated and destroyed so much of the world in the 20th century.

Incredibly engaging!

Sheds an intimate spotlight on Benito Mussolini the creator of fascism. His triumphant rise to to the top of politics (39 year old prime minister) and his inglorious ending. I really enjoyed this read!
