- letters & private diaries, newspaper reports & secret police files
- to uncover how ordinary people experienced fascism on a daily basis & how its ideology influenced their beliefs, values, language & lifestyle. Tracing fascism from its conception to its legacy, Christopher Duggan unpicks why the regime enjoyed so much support among the majority of the Italian population.
