Blurb in original language: By late winter 1. Benito Mussolini’s star was on the wane. He was 6. 1, in the twenty- third year of his tumultuous leadership of Italy, and ahead lay only disaster and defeat. It was a far cry from the Mussolini who had brought a backward Italy into the modern world, his oratory electrifying the nation, his ambitions for conquest admired by his own people. The German armed forces that had sustained his puppet government since September 1. Italy. The frontiers of his Fascist republic were shrinking daily. Mussolini knew that German military leaders were negotiating with the Allies behind his back in neutral Switzerland.
With Soviet forces and those of the Western Allies sweeping towards the heart of the Nazi empire, Germany offered no refuge, nor did Mussolini seek one. He was determined to die in his own country. In the glory days, his followers greeted Mussolini as a man of genius but all that changed from the moment he was overthrown in July 1. He was arrested, then rescued by the Germans and forced by Hitler to take up reins of government once again, yet without any real power. The Germans had lost faith in him and humiliated him almost daily, brutalising his people and stealing his country’s assets.
The final days of Italian premier and dictator Benito Mussolini.
Ray Moseley’s extensively researched and highly engaging work throws light on the last twenty months of the despot’s life. It culminates with the dramatic capture and execution of Mussolini and his mistress Claretta Petacci by partisans of the Italian resistance on 2.
