Requests:  0 Summary:  "Edda Mussolini was the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's oldest and favorite child. At 19, she was married to Count Galleazzo Ciano, Il Duce's Minister for Foreign Affairs during the 1930s, the most turbulent decade in Italy's fascist history. In the years preceding World War II, Edda ruled over Italy's aristocratic families and the cultured and middle classes while selling Fascism on the international stage. How a young woman wielded such control is the heart of Caroline Moore's fascinating history. The issues that emerge reveal not only a great deal about the power of fascism, but also the ease with which dictatorship so easily took hold in a country weakened by war and a continent mired in chaos and desperate for peace. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, some newly released, along with memoirs and personal papers, Mussolini's Daughter paints a portrait of a woman in her twenties whose sheer force of character and ruthless narcissism helped impose a brutal and vulgar movement on a pliable and complicit society. Yet as Moorehead shows, not even Edda's colossal willpower, her scheming, nor her father's avowed love could save her husband from Mussolini's brutal vengeance"--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 945.09109 Ciano Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.09109 Ciane Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Ciano Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.09109 Ciano Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 945.09109 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
