Talks With Mussolini

This classic does not pretend to be a rounded biography of Mussolini, but is a brilliant piece of journalism, a dramatic account of eighteen revealing interviews with the dictator. Into these conversations plenty of dynamite is thrown, and through his response to Ludwig's queries Mussolini paints his own portrait. Not for the lazy-minded; the reader must piece together his own conclusions. One gets a picture of a human being, a great mind, a vast power of organization. It is a sympathetic picture, on the whole, and an enlightening one.
