Benito Mussolini: A biography

A full-length biography of the Italian fascist leader during WWII. Christopher Hibbert has sourced a great mass of material which has come to light since Mussolini's death to write this biography. The clue to his character as revealed in this remarkably detailed biography is to be found in a web of almost pathological contradictions. This pretender of jutting chin and iron will was at times of crisis quite incapable of making up his mind or of holding a line of action.
