The March on Rome and Fascism in Power
RIGHTS SOLD TO:
Edhasa (Word Spanish)
Emilio Gentile returns history to its rightful dimension, describing it as a series of contingent events with unpredictable outcomes, and propels us into that decisive moment which transformed Italy into a totalitarian country.
“Regime Now is the account of a year, 1922, through the prism of events as they unfolded and the actions of its protagonists, where decisiveness and uncertainty, chance and necessity, engagement and inertia, violence and consensus, intelligence and incomprehension, courage and cowardice, individual initiative and mass movements, clash and are dramatically interwoven in a series of contingent events with unpredictable outcomes. What ultimately prevails is the will to dominate, to crush adversaries through the imposition of an irrevocable power.”
