A complex and contradictory figure, Mussolini won the fascination of many statesmen and writers…and their wives. From his early years raised in the traditions of revolutionary Italian Socialism to his violent execution by Communist partisans at the end of World War II, we watch Mussolini's power ambitions erode his political ideals as he evolves from brilliant orator and journalist to empire-building dictator enforcing his authority by death squads. A man initially admired by such Western luminaries as Winston Churchill, or underestimated as a posturing buffoon, he eventually showed his true colors as a racist and persecutor of the Jews. He sought equal stature with Hitler, but his alliance with him would prove disastrous. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Mussolini, Benito,|d1883-1945. 650 0 Heads of state|zItaly|vBiography. 650 0 Fascism|zItaly|xHistory. 651 0 Italy|xPolitics and government|y1922-1945. 700 1 May, Nadia.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10027117?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781455101450_180.jpeg
