Reviews for Mussolini´s Intellectuals: Fascist Social and Political Thought
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2005 "The book succeeds admirably in convincing the reader that, far from being a doctrine based on irrationalism and violence, fascism's foundations are very sophisticated intellectual constructs."
