Summary/Review: Renowned historian Caroline Moorehead paints an indelible picture of Italy in the first half of the twentieth century, offering an intimate account of the rise of Il Duce and his squadristi, life in Mussolini's penal colonies, the shocking ambivalence and complicity of many prominent Italian families seduced by Mussolini's promises, and the bold, fractured resistance movement whose associates sacrificed their lives to fight fascism.
