MUSSOLINI AS DIPLOMAT
Book Type: C By Richard Lamb. Very controversial study by a respected historian. Mussolini at one time had a deep distrust of Hitler, and had feelings of friendship towards England and France, and in England many of their leaders including Churchill and Chamberlain held Mussolini in high esteem. Lamb reveals the secret records of the international conference in 1935 to present a united front with England and France against German rearmament. But a meeting between Mussolini and Anthony Eden went so badly that Eden developed a personal dislike for Mussolini that almost amounted to vendetta. It is the author's contention, based on British and Italian documents finally released after more than half a century, that it was Eden that drove Mussolini into Hitler's arms, and from then on the British policy of appeasing Hitler and opposing Mussolini was disastrous. 370 pp. ![]() |
