Synopsis

These memoirs start with El Alamein but concentrate on the three crucial months July to September, 1943 - the 100 days of incarceration by his own troops until Hitler arranged his rescue from the highest mountain of central Italy. Mussolini reflects on his past from the Abyssinian and Greek wars to his strategic miscalculations and on the enemies, internal and external, who engineered his downfall. The text has been left as he wrote it, but carefully annotated by Professor Klibansky. Appendices include the final conversation with the Cardinal of Milan three days before Mussolini's execution by Italian partisans in April, 1945.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

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.
