Based on a wealth of previously unavailable judicial and archival material, it sheds light on how fascism exercised power through violence and corruption from the very beginning. The book reveals the motives that led Mussolini to order the kidnapping and murder of Socialist leader Giacomo Matteotti in 1924, a turning point in Mussolini?s grasp of total power in Italy. Canali further explores the corrupt dealings between the Mussolini family and the American Sinclair Oil Company that Matteotti had intended to denounce in the Italian parliament the day after his death. Mauro Canali is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Camerino, Italy. 410 0$aItalian and Italian American Studies,$x2635-294X 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aItaly$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Italy 606 $aSocial History 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aItaly$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a945.091 700 $aCanali$b Mauro$f1942-$0140682 702 $aPichey$b Ann T. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842287403321 996 $aThe Matteotti Murder and Mussolini$94146366 997 $aUNINA
