| Summary: | "An epic historical novel that chronicles the birth and rise of fascism in Italy, witnessed through the eyes of its founder, the terrifyingly charismatic figure who would become one of the most notorious dictators of the twentieth century, Benito Mussolini"-- 1919: The Great War that has ravaged Europe is over. In Italy, the people are tired of the political class, of vague promises, inept moderates, and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that has failed ordinary citizens. The director of a small opposition newspaper and a tireless political agitator, Benito Mussolini, is electrifying the masses, promising hope for a demoralized nation hungry for change. Soon Italy-- and the world-- will be forever remade. -- adapted from jacket |
