Praise for the first edition: "[an] impressive synthesis. Tightly written, it packs an enormous amount of information into 200-odd pages. [Morgan's] account of the links between domestic and foreign policy in Italian Fascism is exemplary."--Paul Preston, "Times Higher Education Supplement"  Be the first to write a customer review
