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. 606 $aPress and politics$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vSources 606 $aFascism$zItaly 607 $aItaly$xPolitics and government$y1914-1922 615 0$aPress and politics$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aFascism 676 $a945.091/092 700 $aO'Brien$b Paul$f1962-$01701276 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815773403321 996 $aMussolini in the First World War$94084898 997 $aUNINA
