Description: "Originally published in Italian in 1980, Gli Stati Uniti e il fascismo: Alle origini dell'egemonia americana in Italia is regarded today as a crucial text on the relationship between the United States and Italy during the interwar years. Aside from the addition of two new prefaces--one by the author and one by the book's translator, Molly Tambor--the original text has remained unchanged, so that Anglophone readers now have the opportunity to engage with this classic work. By analyzing the enduring relationship between the United States--especially its financial establishment--and fascist Italy up until Mussolini's conquest of Ethiopia in 1935, this book provides answers to some key questions about the interconnectedness of America's rise to hegemonic global financial power in the twentieth century and its support of Italian fascism during this time"--Provided by publisher.
