The Fascist Experience

Tannenbaum "attempts to reconstruct the social context of Fascism's rise by rediscovering the perspective of the Italians who actually experienced it as a patriotic anti-Communist movement of national social renewal...His sources include Mussolini's correspondence, previously unpublished reports by the party and police officials which records public opinion in the provinces...the popular press, radio, newsreels, commercial films, postcard art, songs, letters, and textbooks."--Publisher's note.
