In 1945, Mussolini tried to flee from the advancing Allied armies. His convoy was stopped by partisans and within 24 hours he was dead, executed by his captors. He joined those who died as a result of his dictatorship - at least a million people, and probably more. Why and how did Mussolini come to power? Why is he often regarded as a figure of fun, while his contemporaries, Hitler and Stalin, are seen as totalitarian tyrants? Did he have the same charismatic power over Italy as Hitler had over Germany? Did he really revolutionize Italy? This biography paints a picture of brutality and failure, yet combined with an understanding of Mussolini as a man, not so very different from many of his contemporaries.
