설명
We should give great credit to Antonio Spinosa for being able to write an excellent book. The subject, that under the hands of other authors lend the side to easy denigration or unwarranted praise, is analyzed with the seriousness and depth of the city, but at the same time, told with the lightness and smoothness of the journalist from the great communicative. The book is then able to excite the insider or the simple fan. Historical time is continuously interwoven with the story of the life of Mussolini, thus achieving a broad vision, without losing sight of the protagonist. The choice not to put any critical comment is the winning solution to avoid any bias. The author prefers to insert often Mussolini's speeches, leaving it to the words of the dictator to make the reader think, showing all sides (even the most unthinkable) of the head of fascism. It turns out a Mussolini dropped so much in the political as in private ones, and we are witnessing the double story of a dictator and a man. The bibliography at the end of the book will be great interest to scholars because it shows that the diaries of important Fascist leaders like Big and Bottai were consulted in writing this book. The only negative is the subtitle "the charm of a dictator" that definitely makes you think of a book that celebrates uncritically celebratory figure of Mussolini. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is at the end of the day a book that will be informative and sobering.
