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 experienced hardship, working as a bricklayer, a cutter, and a kitchen helper, but the hardships did not temper his honest and noble humanity; instead, they fostered a twisted personality marked by 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 without a home but dramatically moved into the royal palace, stealing the king's position, indulging in luxury and debauchery. He was once a mischievous student but somehow obtained a diploma in history and rose 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 he could not endure loneliness and instead climbed the ladder of writing, becoming a of the New Roman Empire. This man was born in peaceful times but brought unrest to the people of the world, becoming a generation of war demons and bloody executioners—Benito Mussolini.
Mussolini, this ruthless, fickle fascist dictator, was a complete hypocrite. He believed in sorcery, divination, and astrology, building his greed and glory on nothing more than empty spiritualism. He once boasted of being the reincarnation of Caesar or Napoleon, yet he could never rival them. He discriminated against women but was also an absolute lecher, treating women as mere objects to be exploited, demanding their submission to his desires and preferences.
This book is based on historical records and provides a comprehensive, vivid account of the rise and life of this Italian Fascist leader, filled with countless crimes. It tells us—how Mussolini, from a poor, destitute, and downtrodden commoner, climbed to the pinnacle of Italian reactionary rule; how he transformed from a despised, wretched man into a womanizer surrounded by beauty; and how he fell from being an arrogant, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty leader into a prisoner awaiting justice, ultimately ending up exposed on the streets.
In short, a century of rogue tyrant, autocratic demon, a living, naked, and bloody spectacle unfolds before our eyes. At the same time, this book also provides a detailed account of the origins of the Axis alliance between the two world demons during World War II and portrays the wolfish and fox-like masks of other war maniacs.
