"II Duce" is a rich_ hipgraphy ofi
Mussolini in Engteels. It. is, am

but its greatest merik lies, in, the•
fact that it looksespecially and
intimately into the dictatorrahen

cialist, smelled personal oppon,-

history in the pathology of the
power drive. It led him finally,.
through falling fortunes,. info, at
brooding, stoic condition is which,
he displayed a detached eonxage'
while awaiting the execution
which he was sure would be his;

chances to flee for his life, and
it is noteworthy that his mistress
of many years, Clara Petacci„
chase to remain with him and
was the first to fall before the:
submachine gun of their Italian
Communist executioner.
Mussolini for years exhibited
a weird mixture of qualities. He
was a physical -culture and bare -
skin zealot who bad ulcers, a
revoltingly crude womanizer -rho
was a devoted husband and fath-
er. He read socialist intellectuals
but was a superstitious believer
in charms and amulets. He ar-
ranged all manner of Roman
nom_ps but often dressed himself
like a slob. He cared nothing
about money, but he knew him-
self will enough to exclaim: "I
want to make my mark on my
era with my will, like a lion with
its claw"
It would appeared that the first
thing which broke his feverish
spirit was his relationship with
Adolf Hitler. At first Mussolini
considered Hitler an unsavory
weakling, but Il Duce was over-
whelmed by the thunderous mili-
tary displays of Germany. He
tried to make recalcitrant Itali-
ans adopt the goose step and
practice an anti-Semitism gen-
erally alien to them. Before and
during the war, Hitler constantly
acted without telling his Axis
partner what he proposed to do
-in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Po-
land. and 'Russia. As Italy's
forces made a botch of their Afri-
ran and Greek campaigns, Mus-
solini became in effect a passive
