"elegant and well-argued ... Corner's dissection of Fascism, its rhetoric and legacy, is trenchant and highly readable" -- Phil Cooke "Timely, balanced, succinctly argued and thoroughly convincing." -- Tony Barber, Financial Times "timely" -- Timothy Garton Ash, Financial Times "A vital corrective to the quicksand of Fascist revisionism, where nothing is solid and all debate is sucked downwards into 'whataboutery' ... this great academic take-down allows the reader to see and understand the tricks that [Mussolini] is still, posthumously, playing on the Italian people." -- Tobias Jones, Engelsberg Ideas "enlightening" -- , The Economist "a brilliant book" -- Robert Fox, Evening Standard "Paul Corner has authoritatively shown [that the] history of the Italian dictatorship was based on violence, corruption, and calamitous inadequacy in fighting Italy's Second World War (as the "ignoble second" of Adolf Hitler and his Nazis)." -- Richard Bosworth, History Extra "a balanced picture of Benito Mussolini and of the regime that he led. A seasoned scholar in this field, Corner expertly balances the task of chipping away at the accretion of falsehoods and forgetfulness, while not rushing to the opposite extreme by simply subsuming Italian fascism into the broader history of fascist movements." -- John Foster, The Battleground "A warning, a revelation, a profound study of the realities of dictatorships which with time, can merge into acceptable and appealing myth." -- Margaret Graham, Frost Magazine "A fluid, engaging read for the lay person that reawakens an Italy that will be far less familiar than the last holiday taken in Tuscany." -- Richard Lofthouse, QUAD "written with admirable lucidity and assured knowledge" -- Sean McGlynn, Quadrant "This book could not be more timely." -- Francis Ghiles, ESGlobal "No one knows more about Mussolinian Fascism than Paul Corner does.

Synopsis
Mussolini in myth and memory. Paul Corner looks at the brutal reality of the Italian dictator's fascist regime and confronts the nostalgia for dictatorial rule evident today in many European countries., Mussolini in myth and memory. Paul Corner looks at the brutal reality of the Italian dictator's fascist regime and confronts the nostalgia for dictatorial rule evident today in many European countries. Mussolini has rarely been taken seriously as a totalitarian dictator; Hitler and Stalin have always cast too long a shadow. But what was a negative judgement on the Duce, considered innocuous and ineffective, has begun to work to his advantage. As has occurred with many other European dictators, present-day popular memory of Mussolini is increasingly indulgent; in Italy and elsewhere he is remembered as a strong, decisive leader and people now speak of the 'many good things' done by the regime. After all, it is said, Mussolini was not like 'the others'. Mussolini in Myth and Memory argues against this rehabilitation, documenting the inefficiencies, corruption, and violence of a highly repressive regime and exploding the myths of Fascist good government. But this short study does not limit itself to setting the record straight; it seeks also to answer the question of why there is nostalgia - not only in Italy - for dictatorial rule. Linking past history and present memory, Corner's analysis constructs a picture of the realities of the Italian regime and examines the more general problem of why, in a moment of evident crisis of western democracy, people look for strong leadership and take refuge in the memory of past dictatorships. If, in this book, Fascism is placed in its totalitarian context and Mussolini emerges firmly in the company of his fellow dictators, the study also shows how a memory of the past, formed through reliance on illusion and myth, can affect the politics of the present., Mussolini in myth and memory.
