The Fascist Revolution in Italy: A Brief History with Documents (Bedford Cultural Editions) 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Marla Stone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 23
See all formats and editions
As the first mass movement of the radical right to assume power in the wake of World War I, Italian Fascism became the model and inspiration for violent anti-democratic and anti-socialist forces that swept Europe between 1919 and 1945. In this volume Marla S. Stone provides an essential introduction to the rise and fall of Benito Mussolini's Fascist dictatorship. Drawing on the most recent historical scholarship, Stone explores the multifaceted nature of Fascist rule, which drew strength not only from its terror apparatus but also from popular support for its social programs. More than 35 primary sources, including speeches, decrees, memoirs, telegrams, songs, and artwork, demonstrate how Fascism shaped all aspects of Italian life. More than a dozen Italian documents are translated into English for the first time. Photographs, maps, document headnotes, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography provide pedagogical support.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended introductory material
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2020

Marla Stone's historical account was my introduction to the Bedford series and a welcome one. Targeted at history students, this book provides summaries and snippets of Fascism in Italy, particularly in the early years before the war. No doubt I will be checking out many other books in this series, which includes 'The French Revolution and Human Rights' and 'The First World War.'

Though no longer a student of history at university (though always a 'student of history' in the broader sense of the word), this book gave me pertinent information to assist me in writing my own historical fiction novel set in Italy in the 1920s and 30s. There are many resources on WWII and Nazi Germany, but not so many on how the world arrived at the infamous atrocities that took place between 1939 and 1945, especially outside of Germany. This book is a critical addition to the rise of Fascism.

Special commendation goes to Stone's incorporation of primary source materials. It certainly makes sometimes dry factual history more engaging, but more importantly, is second-to-none in terms of its helpfulness to the historian. Transporting readers as much as possible to time and place is key - as much for students as it is for writers.

I highly recommend this book.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013
This book is excellent for a down and dirty grasp of Fascism in Italy and the rise and fall of it's not so gloriously leader. With the primary documents and the concise breakdown by the author this small book packs a big, educational punch. Worth the read.
