The perceived horror of Mussolini notwithstanding, Whittam seems to present a succinct yet highly instructive account of the arc of experience of Italian fascism, delivering a good sense of the many different groups vying for hegemony in the movement, with nicely realized, short, but incisive, descriptions-explanations of such groups, their origins and aims. Thus the reader quickly gains a sense of the continuing flux among the movement's elements (some often near-antithetical), with-- after early tentative moments -- Mussolini, the super-hero, in the center, juggling those roiling forces. Definitely a good introduction.

Very realistic. I think they hold nothing back to give you the full experience of the disturbed Benito Mussolini. Many andectodes that make you want to cry for the chillingly cold and brutal life this man led
