Mussolini and the History of Italian Fascism
A$35.99
Available in a double disc set, this eight-hour documentary features stunning, unseen footage from the Italian government's archives, depicting the key events and personalities in Il Duce's rise to power. From his early career as a socialist journalist, to the Abyssinian war and an ill-fated alliance with Hitler, Mussolini was driven by the desire to put Italy at the heart of European power and culture. He was a consummate politician who sought to win over the Italian peasant workers, middle classes, industry and army to his fascist ideology.
Desperate to build relationships with England and France, Mussolini's fascism was distinct from Hitler's Nazism, but events in Europe would draw him inexorably closer to Germany. Acclaimed on its television broadcast, Mussolini and the History of Italian Fascism is the definitive story of the rise and fall of fascism through the eyes of its people and leaders. Packaged in a 2 DVD collectors box, this programme is the ultimate resource for those interested in the life and death of the man who shaped Italy in the 20th century.
Includes:
- Mussolini, the man and the politician and his rise to power.
- The Matteotti affair and the birth of the Totalitarian state
- Fascist policy at home and abroad
- The Vatican agreement and initial contact with Hitler
