Liberal and Fascist Italy: 1900-1945

by Adrian Lyttelton (editor)

This volume centres on one of the most dramatic periods of Italian 1900-1945. It examines the crisis of the liberal state as it undergoes a process of significant transformation, which starts with a process of modernization and leads to the totalitarian fascist state.

This book contains many essays by many authors on many topics, so I'm not sure I'll ever get to all of them, but I enjoyed the Introduction and plan to explore further in the collection.
