.The Unification of Italy (Lancaster Pamphlets)
Search: Italy
by: John Gooch

May 15, 1986
This is an excellent book to be read when you are first apporaching the period, or are reading purely for pleasure. However, if you are studying the period (as I have done for AS Level History) the book is not really detailed enough to be of much use. The book, as with others in the series, has a timeline which helps put events in perspective and particularly focuses on the events following partial unification in 1860/61. The author, John Gooch, has chosen to adopt a style that informs us of the established opinion rather than challenging the accepted view. The book also includes some 'primary sources' and these are a good inclusion, however, the ones in the Seminar studies book of the same name I found was an improvement. The book is short ...

.Mussolini and Fascist Italy (Lancaster Pamphlets)
Search: Italy
by: Martin Blinkhorn

August 25, 2006
A compelling read.
Basically this is a beautifully written potted history of "Il Duce," from small violent child to big violent fascist.
Intelligent, mesmerising, gifted, a vicious rapist and serial womaniser, but the right man at the right time. All of these things - from peasant to leader in ten years - the world's original fascist who never quite dropped his socialist roots, and due to his ability to change direction more than once in a single day, eventually stood for nothing.
Seriously, this wasn't a man ever tied by ideology, he had none. He was everything to everyone, then eventually nothing to anyone. The ultimate opportunist, when you read this you'll understand why there was only ever likely to be one outcome.
