Abstract: With Mussolini s Italy, R.J.B. Bosworththe foremost scholar on the subject writing in Englishvividly brings to life the period in which Italians participated in one of the twentieth centurys most notorious political experiments. Il Duces Fascists were the original totalitarians, espousing a cult of violence and obedience that inspired many other dictatorships, Hitlers first among them. But as Bosworth reveals, many Italians resisted its ideology, finding ways, ingenious and varied, to keep Fascism from taking hold as deeply as it did in Germany. A sweeping chronicle of struggle in terrible times, this is the definitive account of Italys darkest hour

With this insightful, comprehensive study, Bosworth secures his place as one of the two leading historians in the English-speaking world ... of twentieth-century Italy. Bosworth begins with an admission that he has embarked on an impossible project: to unveil the lives of Italians from all walks of life under a generation of dictatorship. Impossible, indeed, but what a grand attempt at a synthesis of social and political history he produces.
A breathtakingly ambitious history that defies its authors own warning: Aspiring to write the total history of a totalitarian society is a delusion.... Superb and timely.
A lively portrait in Mussolinis Italy of the lives of ordinary Italians under Fascism.... In mesmeric detail, Bosworth puts Mussolini squarely behind the worst atrocities of post-Risorgimento Italy.
[A] superbly evocative account ... Profound in its scholarship and humane in its judgments.
[A] penetrating new book ... Bosworths fine book, studded with crisply drawn vignettes of Mussolinis main collaborators and with fascinating details of how ordinary Italians coped with Fascist rule in the provinces, pulls no punches.
The state of man in divers functions,
Setting endeavour in continual motion;
To which is fixed, as an aim or butt,
Obedience: for so work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
They have a king, and officers of sorts;
Where some, like magistrates, correct at home,
Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad,
Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings,
Make boot upon the summers velvet buds;
Which pillage they with merry march bring home
To the tent-royal of their emperor:
Who, busied in his majesty, surveys
The singing masons building roofs of gold,
The civil citizens kneading up the honey,
The poor mechanic porters crowding in
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,
The sad-eyd justice, with his surly hum,
Delivering oer to executors pale
The lazy yawning drone. I this infer,
That many things, having full reference
To one consent, may work contrariously;
As many arrows, loosed several ways,
Fly to one mark; as many ways meet in one town;
As many streams meet in one salt sea;
As many lines close in the dials centre;
So may a thousand actions, once afoot,
End in one purpose, and be all well borne
Without defeat. (Henry V, I. 2.183-213)
