I picked this up as I've developed a bit of an interest in Italian political history after reading Ferrante's novels and realising how little about it I know! This book hits the sweet spot between providing a comprehensive history and remaining accessible to broader audiences. It is an engaging and rigorous examination of the rise and fall of fascism in Italy, and I found Foot's emphasis on the role of violence in fascism's rise particularly interesting.
