With Mussolini ’s Italy, R.J.B. Bosworth—the foremost scholar on the subject writing in English—vividly brings to life the period in which Italians participated in one of the twentieth century’s most notorious political experiments. Il Duce’s Fascists were the original totalitarians, espousing a cult of violence and obedience that inspired many other dictatorships, Hitler’s first among them.

They must have met at Salò when Mussolini dispiritedly slipped into the oxymoronic condition of being a puppet dictator, although the last days of the Repubblica Sociale were not an ideal time for any seeking lasting sistemazione. However, Sulis did not fall victim to the popular vendettas in 1945 nor did his Fascist fanaticism drive him to seek his.

Even a year after his sacking, it was possible to be picked up by the secret police for suggesting that not he but ‘Someone Else’ was responsible for Italy’s.
Revolution which history had recorded’.5 Technically speaking, Italy had been victorious in the First World War. In the last days of October 1918, a fortnight or so before the trenches emptied on the Western Front (a primacy Italian patriots then and thereafter loved to recall), Italian armies, moving forward from the Piave and on Monte Grappa (but not yet reaching the line they had held in October 1917), found that Austrian resistance had melted away as revolution or collapse dissolved the.

There the squads decided that they must impose their discipline on the working class of that city and its leaders and sacked the office of Gramsci’s theoretical journal, L‘Ordine Nuovo.25 Running street battles resulted in which a score of people died. More perplexing was the fact that the leaders of the radical wing of Turin Fascism, Mario Gioda (an ex-anarchist) and Pietro Gorgolini (born 1891, with a.
