Description: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge University Press, (2000). orig.cloth, dustwrapper.. 24x16cm, xiv,262 pp, PAPERBACK.. Minor rubbing. An ink mark to top page-edge. VG. ¶ This book analyzes the origins, nature, dynamics, and ruinous end of the Italian and German dictatorships. Emphasizing themes of aggression, fighting power, and staying power, it offers a comparative overview of the two countries' trajectories from unification in the 1860s to national catastrophe in 1943--45. It evaluates Mussolini's foreign policy, a subject still inadequately explored and poorly understood, and offers a novel and compelling interpretation of the synthesis of Prusso-German military tradition and Nazi revolution, which was a key factor in Germany' s ability to fight to the bitter end" - Publisher's description.
