The Mussolini memoirs 1942-1943 - Benito Mussolini

These memoirs start with El Alamein but concentrate on the three crucial months July to September, 1943 ? the 100 days of incarceration by his own troops until Hitler arranged his rescue from the highest mountain of central Italy. Mussolini reflects on his past from the Abyssinian and Greek wars to his strategic miscalculations and on the enemies, internal and external, who engineered his downfall.

The text has been left as he wrote it, but carefully annotated by Professor Klibansky.

Appendices include the final conversation with the Cardinal of Milan three days before Mussolini?s execution by Italian partisans in April, 1945.
