Painstakingly researched and vividly told, this engrossing history turns the spotlight on the deeply conflicted Edda Mussolini, brilliantly balancing the big picture with a wealth of telling detail.
CLARE MULLEY
In her wide-ranging biography of Edda Ciano, Caroline Moorehead subtly paints a compelling portrait of Mussolini's Italian dictatorship. She displays the regime's high and low moments, rigorously displaying its violence and warmongering as qualified by its corruption, contradictions and incompetence. Her book will take a leading place in all studies of the reality of Fascism, of fascism, of all authoritarians (and of quite a number of other political practitioners)
RICHARD BOSWORTH
Caroline Moorehead writes with her characteristic elegance, eye for detail and authoritative knowledge about a monster and a survivor. The story of Mussolini's glamorous daughter is certainly a fascinating one
