About this title

Synopsis

Here are the words of the man who led Italy to fascism and aided Hitler during the war, written in early 1944 as it all began to fall apart. A fascinating historical document of first-rate importance, these memoirs come from his personal account (annotated but unaltered) of the events immediately preceding and following the capitulation of the Italian armies and the collapse of his regime. Included as an appendix: the final conversation with the Cardinal of Milan three days beforeIl Duce's execution by Italian partisans.

About the Author

Benito Mussolini led the Fascist state in Italy before and during the war until his country's capitulation. He was then imprisoned, rescued by his ally, Hitler, and finally executed by partisans at the end of the war. EDITOR INFORMATION Raymond Klibansky is Frothingham Professor of McGill University, Montreal, and Emeritus Professor of Wolfson College, Oxford. At the end of the war, it was Professor Klibansky who gathered the numerous first-hand accounts of Mussolini's last months that make up the appendices.
