“The greatest living legislator” - this is how Winston Churchill spoke of Mussolini, echoed by Gandhi, Lenin, and Roosevelt... Soon after coming to power, the Duce was awarded the English Order of the Bath, and agents are suspected of his hasty execution 20 years later “Intelligence Service” - Mussolini knew too much, his confidential correspondence with Churchill could have compromised the British prime minister and should not have seen the light of day... This book refutes the propaganda myths about the Italian dictator as a “bloody tyrant”, a political nonentity, a puppet of Hitler and a pathetic runt, puffing up to become the new Caesar. In fact, even Mussolini’s enemies recognized the successes of Mussolini’s economic and social policies - under his rule, enormous public works were carried out, the mafia was defeated, the number of hospitals increased many times over, and the New Roman Empire he created became a great aviation and naval power. This biography does not try to justify the Duce (there is too much blood on him, and his participation in Hitler’s aggression against Russia cannot be forgiven), but prefers to rely not on myths, but on facts. Analyzing the politics and tragic fate of Mussolini objectively, unbiasedly and impartially, this book proves that the Duce was not a political dwarf, but one of the titans of the 20th century, not a mediocrity, but an EVIL GENIUS. I did not make the cover this time, it belongs to the publishing house.< /p>
