Mussolini's Empire

Résumé du livre

An acclaimed historian offers a novel look at Mussolini whose importance, charisma and achievements, according to Hoyt, have been overshadowed by his flagrant personality and excesses. Goes beyond the storied histrionics to reveal a man with a first class mind and a shrewd understanding of the European scene. Offers a new look at Hitler, showing how he was influenced by Mussolini and how he might have been contained had France and England backed the Italian's efforts to hold Hitler in check.
