Mellon Foundation.Anglophobia in Fascist Italy traces the origins and development of anti-British sentiment in Fascist Italy, as Britain turned from being an ally in the First World War to an enemy in the Second. The book demonstrates that Fascist ideologues framed Britain as a stagnant and decaying country and the polar opposite of Fascism's new civilisation, to the point that the regime's assessment of British political resolve and military might were distorted by ideological bias. The book offers a thorough analysis of diplomatic, military and journalistic sources and demonstrates that anti-British tropes had permeated Italy to a greater degree than was previously believed.FascismItalyHistory20th centuryItalyForeign relationsGreat BritainAnglo-Italian relations.Benito Mussolini.European relations in the Interwar Years.Fascist Italy.Italian history.Second World War.military attachés.racist theories.totalitarianism.war propoganda.FascismHistory945.091Pili Jacopo1260779NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910552750603321Anglophobia in fascist Italy2922175UNINA
