How did Benito Mussolini come to fascism? Standard accounts of the
dictator have failed to explain satisfactorily the transition from
his pre-World War I 'socialism' to his post-war fascism. This
controversial new book is the first to examine closely Mussolini's
political trajectory during the Great War as evidenced in his
journalistic writings, speeches and war diary, as well as some
previously unexamined archive material. The author argues that the
1914-18 conflict provided the catalyst for Mussolini to clarify his
deep-rooted nationalist tendencies. He demonstrates that
Mussolini's interventionism was already anti-socialist and
anti-democratic in the early autumn of 1914 and shows how in and
through the experience of the conflict the future duce fine-tuned
his authoritarian and totalitarian vision of Italy in a state of
permanent mobilization for war. Providing a radical new
interpretation of one of the most important dictators of the
twentieth century, Mussolini in the First World War will appeal to
anyone who wants to learn more about the roots of fascism in modern
Europe.
