Features: He was the son of a blacksmith but did not faithfully stay in the blacksmith shop for his entire life; instead, he ascended to the throne of Prime Minister of Italy. He had been immersed in hardship, working as a laborer, a cutter, and a kitchen helper, but the hardships did not temper his honest and noble humanity; instead, they fostered a twisted personality of stubbornness, indifference, selfishness, irritability, and eccentricity. He was arrested and imprisoned time and again, yet miraculously rose to perform on the political stage of Italy, Europe, and even the world. He once roamed the streets, homeless, yet dramatically moved into the royal palace, stealing the king's throne, indulging in wine, women, and song, living a life of revelry and debauchery. He was once a mischievous student but somehow obtained a diploma in history and clawed his way to become a prominent figure in the Italian Fascist Party, inciting a devastating world war that destroyed humanity. He also worked as a teacher and edited newspapers and magazines, but unable to endure solitude, he climbed the ladder of writing, becoming the role of a visionary of the New Roman Empire. This man, born in peaceful days, brought unrest to the people of the world, becoming a generation of war demons and bloody executioners—Benito Mussolini.
Mussolini, this cruel, treacherous, and fickle fascist dictator, was a complete hypocrite. He believed in witchcraft, divination, and astrology, building his greed and glory on nothing more than empty spiritualism. He once boasted of being the reincarnation of Caesar and Napoleon, yet he could never rival them. He discriminated against women but was also an absolute lecher, treating women as mere objects, demanding obedience to his desires and preferences.
This book is based on historical records and vividly narrates the rise and life filled with crimes of this Italian Fascist leader. It tells people—how Mussolini, from a poor and destitute commoner, climbed to the pinnacle of Italy's reactionary rule; how he transformed from a despised and pitiful man into a womanizer surrounded by beauty; and how he fell from an arrogant, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty leader to a prisoner subjected to justice and ultimately exposed to the streets.
In short, a century of rogue tyrant, autocratic demon, vividly leaps into view. At the same time, this book also details the roots of the collapse of the Axis alliance of the two world demons during World War II and portrays the wolfish and fox-like faces of other war maniacs.
