商品簡介
Finaldi (history, U. of Western Australia) gives undergraduates the facts behind Mussolini and his rise to power along with several interesting questions about why so many amongst the European intelligentsia supported him and how Italians could be both Catholic and fascist. Finaldi explains how the geopolitical quagmire of World War I contributed to the perversion of what had been a civilized state, how the war in Ethiopia affected public opinion, and how Italian fascism and German national socialism complemented each other. He analyzes the complex relationship between Mussolini and Hitler and explains the gap between what Italy boasted about its military prowess in the was against the Allies and the reality. He includes a strong collection of primary documents, a glossary, chronology and guide to further reading. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
