Description
Of the four great European dictators of the 20th century, Mussolini remains the least known. 1990s and spent time investigating the forgeries and writing about the resurgence of Mussolini's reputation, 50 years after his death. Farrell shows how Italy was changed very much for the better until Mussolini's final and disastrous decision to join the Axis and support Hitler. Could he have followed Franco's example and stayed on the sidelines? It is one of the questions Farrell examines.
