Summary

Mussolini’s Ghost: The Haunting Afterlife of a Dictator

Mussolini died over 80 years ago, but his ghost haunts the streets, culture, and politics of Italy. The Italian Fascist dictator Mussolini was killed in 1945, his body exhibited upside down in Milan before an angry crowd. The repudiation by the people of the dictator who had led them to disaster was complete. But his story did not end there. The Duce continued to live on thanks to a legacy that was multi-faceted and complex.
