The Matteotti Murder and Mussolini : The Anatomy of a Fascist Crime Hardback
by Mauro Canali
Part of the Italian and Italian American Studies series
Hardback
Description
This much-awarded work by one of Italy’s most esteemed historians of fascism, Mauro Canali, is now available in English translation.
Based on a wealth of previously unavailable judicial and archival material, it sheds light on how fascism exercised power through violence and corruption from the very beginning.
The book reveals the motives that led Mussolini to order the kidnapping and murder of Socialist leader Giacomo Matteotti in 1924, a turning point in Mussolini’s grasp of total power in Italy.
Canali further explores the corrupt dealings between the Mussolini family and the American Sinclair Oil Company that Matteotti had intended to denounce in the Italian parliament the day after his death.
