Welcome to Litsy!

A very good book about the rise of Mussolini (from 1919 to the beginning of 1925).
The author explain that he wants to write a kind of “novel” about that story but I see this book in a different way. I see many historic details very well described but not a novel (but it‘s not a critic because it‘s very detailed and perfect for who wants to learn something more about this period of Italian history).

Hard to believe you can make a non fiction story out of such a period of Italy history. Just a few years, from the birth of fascism to Mussolini‘s rise to power, but such an involving storytelling, with a lot of references to actual documents: all together Scurati makes of this a book to fall in love with. #2019

Tanto si è sempre reazionari rispetto a qualcun altro.

Si inizia un lungo viaggio in una storia conclusa, non del tutto irrisolta.
