| Summary: | "The book examines the years immediately after the fall of the fascist regime in Italy. Drawing on personal diaries and correspondence written between 1943 and 1945, it asks: What did Italians feel and think about fascism as they witnessed the regime's demise? Did the historical circumstances, including foreign occupation and a civil war, lead to a hurried, unreflective liquidation of the regime? Ultimately, can we draw on people's experiences of this period to illuminate contemporary Italy's ambiguous relationship to its fascist legacy? By emphasizing the seemingly banal power of everyday experience, the book offers a new interpretive approach to the past"--Publisher's description. |
