Condition: Sehr gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 612 Seiten und 8 Blatt mit 16 Abbildungen. 20,9 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. Woher bezog er seine überwältigende Dynamik, die ihn zum unumstrittenen Herrscher Italiens machte? Wodurch erreichte er seine stupenden Erfolge in weiten Teilen des italienischen Volkes? Was bewog ihn zu seiner brutalen Innenpolitik, zu seiner katastrophalen Außenpolitik? Woran scheiterte er letztlich und die von ihm initiiertepolitische Heilsbewegung des Faschismus? Sunday Times: The Mussolini who emerges from Denis Mack Smith's outstanding political biography is the supreme opportunist, more actor than statesman, with policies shaped chiefly by events. Hence the emphasis on appearance, the Napoleonic posturing, the monumental vanity. In the end Mussolini probably came to believe his own propaganda - that he was an infallible man of destiny, though his programme consisted of little more than aggression overseas, while at home he suppressed individual freedom and aped Hitler's racial laws. Mack Smith's compelling narrative follows this destiny to its infamous conclusion: the collapse of Mussolini's nation, and the destruction of its leader. 'The particular merit of Mack Smith's Mussolini is that it reveals his extraordinary bloodthirstiness as a war leader, combined with an equally extraordinary incompetence in the same role.one of the most severe indictments of Mussolini ever penned. - Denis Mack Smith CBE FBA FRSL (born 3 March 1920 in London) is an English historian, specialising in the history of Italy from the Risorgimento onwards. He is best known for studies of Garibaldi and Cavour and of Mussolini, and for his single-volume Modern Italy: A Political History. He was named Grand Official of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 1996.[1] An Emeritus Fellow at All Souls College at the University of Oxford since 1987, Smith is considered the world's leading scholar on Italian history for the English world. [2] He belongs to the post-World War II generation of Cambridge historians, mostly based at the Peterhouse, who learned to appreciate the primacy of documentary evidence. [3] He is an Honorary Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, and of Peterhouse, Cambridge. He received the Presidential Medal of Italy in 1984. . From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Firma di possesso e data La vita del Duce raccontata dal grande storico inglese. Una biografia politica di Benito Mussolini, non una storia dell'Italia fascista; l'attenzione è concentrata sulla vita pubblica di un singolo uomo.Il fascismo italiano fu una realtà molto più ampia della sola persona di Mussolini, ma le peculiarità di questo uomo furono un fattore cruciale così dei successi come dei fallimenti di questo movimento politico. Una persona capace di conseguire un tale culmine di popolarità, per poi precipitare così rapidamente al polo opposto di un'universale ripugnanza, è chiaramente un individuo fuori del comune.
