Medical Mussolini

By Morris Allison Bealle and Morris A. Bealle

Book Overview

Medical Mussolini is a book written by Morris Allison Bealle that explores the controversial and little-known history of the medical profession in fascist Italy under the rule of Benito Mussolini. The book delves into the political and social factors that influenced the development of Italian medicine during this time, including the regime's emphasis on eugenics, the suppression of dissenting opinions, and the alliance between the medical establishment and the fascist government. Bealle also examines the role of individual doctors and medical organizations in perpetuating the regime's ideology and the impact of these actions on the wider medical community and society as a whole. Through extensive research and analysis, Medical Mussolini sheds light on a dark chapter in the history of medicine and fascism, and raises important questions about the ethical responsibilities of medical professionals in times of political upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
