Giuseppe Finaldi 
Mussolini and Italian Fascism [EPUB ebook] 

Fascism was one of the defining experiences of the European 20th Century. Within it many of the economic, political, social and cultural contradictions that had been brewing in the unprecedented transformation that European society underwent in the 19th and early 20th century came to a head. Mussolini, the man who most fashioned Italian Fascism, dramatically expressed the unease and the hopes of his age.

To what extent can we compare Mussolini”s Italy to Hitler”s Germany or Stalin”s Russia? What legacy has the experience of Fascism left behind in Italy and in Europe? These and many more important questions are explored in Finaldi”s introduction to one of the most important movements of the European 20th Century.
