About the Author:
Christopher Duggan is Professor of Modern Italian History at the University of Reading, Head of of the School of Languages and European Studies, and Director of the Centre for Modern Italian History. His publications include: Francesco Crispi: From Nation to Nationalism and The Force of Destiny: A History of Italy since 1796.
Review:
"A valuable companion to courses on fascism and for anyone interested in the topic. [Duggan] demonstrates the need to understand "Mussolini" as a fetish --an invented modern saint to many, whose hagiography could be inscribed in public and private writing, whose image could be venerated in time of plenty, and whose name could be invoked in times of need. Recommended." --CHOICE
"An elegantly written study that is the work of a historian at the height of his powers [Duggan] works most effectively from below, with his argument and prose enlivened by his skillful choice from the unpublished diary entries of 200 and more Italians who were part of the Mussolini generation." --Richard Bosworth, History Today
"[An] excellent new history of Italian Fascism." --Financial Times
"Fascist Voices takes up the challenge of understanding why the Duce and his regime appealed to so many Italians. The author's thoughtful tone and sensitive handling of his sources, which include diaries, police informers' reports and letters sent to Mussolini, enhance the book, and his clear prose makes it eminently readable." --Times Higher Education, London
"In his magnificent new book, a pathbreaking study that everyone interested in Fascism, or in Italy past and present, should read, Christopher Duggan fills the gap by examining a wide range of diaries, including Petacci's, and the numerous letters sent to Mussolini by private citizens during the two decades of his rule..." --Richard Evans, London Review of Books
