Inside the mind of a Dictator

Have you ever wondered what is going on inside the mind of a dictator (perhaps you know but haven’t achieved absolute power just yet)! Well this week, you can take a peek into the mind of Benito Mussolini.

This collection, in the original Italian and in a massive 35 (yes 35) volumes is entitled “Opera Omnia di Benito Mussolini” and was edited by Edoardo e Duilio Susmel. Published between 1952 and 1962.  It follows Mussolini from his earliest, Socialist works – through to his famous Fascist speeches. Through his thought, it helps to chart the rise and fall of one of the darkest periods in Italian history.
