Tannenbaum. 260 London : |bAllen Lane, |c1973. 300 viii, 411, [8] leaves of plates : |bill., facsim., ports. ; |c23 cm. 500 First published in 1972 under title: The Fascist experience. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 Professor Tannenbaum reconstructs the social context of Fascism's rise in the perspective of the Italians who actually experienced it as a patriotic anti-Communist movement of national social renewal. His painstaking research reveals how Italian children were conditioned by rallies, excursions and other group activities, and how working adults were regimented by Fascist labour unions. He describes how and why the Church and wealthy businessmen supported Fascism, and the process by which the media manufactured an image of a society of clean-living patriots... To write this highly readable and original book, the author interviewed hundreds of Italians of all classes and backgrounds and gained access to nearly all Mussolini's correspondence -- as well as to previously unpublished reports by party and police officials which record public opinion in the provinces. Piecing his story together from firsthand study of the popular press, radio, newsreels, commercial films, and textbooks, Tannenbaum has created a fresh and convincing picture of how Italians experienced Fascism.-- from the cover page 580 The Roger Griffin ComFas Collection 650 0 Fascism |zItaly. 651 0 Italy |xHistory |y1922-1945. 651 0 Italy |xSocial conditions |y1918-1945. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6914_500000000000000_03_91_TAN |70 |8GEN |9160986OSA |bOSA |d2022-11-17 |eComFas |l0 |o914.5/03/91 TAN |r2022-11-17 |w2022-11-17 |yBK |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 wXZEyLo7 992 01 914_500000000000000_03_91_TAN |bQYV_UZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZW_QY_6PC 966 |cIn the Research Room
