Description: "The Darkest Side of the Fascist Years documents the three phases of the Italian-Canadian fascist press, following its parabolic trajectory from the initial failure of the 1920s, to the noisy success in the middle of 1930s, and to its final demise in the early 1940s. The book analyses in detail the three major Italian-Canadian newspapers which had served the Italian-reading public during the inter-wars period: L'Italia (Montreal), Il Bollettino (Toronto), and L'Eco (Vancouver).

Minor philofascist publications that appeared in those years are considered as well. Their editorial policy is woven with and presented against the background of the portentous events that shook the world and led to the Second World War."--BOOK JACKET.
