Summary:
Benito Mussolini seized power through a potent combination of terror and persuasion. Promising glory while crushing his enemies, he held Italy in his grasp for more than two decades. Rare photos and films tell the story of Mussolini's life, from his days as a schoolyard bully to his creation of the dreaded black shirt brigades. Eyewitness experts reveal how his alliance with Hitler ultimately destroyed his country--and led to his execution and mutilation by Italian partisans. Observers explore his renewed popularity and the shocking return of fascism to Italy today.
