Mussolini and His Fascist Italy with Professor Richard Bosworth 

Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime brought about one million premature deaths.
But what led to Mussolini’s rise to power?
What was Italian Fascism like and how did it compare to Adolf Hitler’s Nazism?
What drove Mussolini the man?
And what led to Mussolini’s demise?
In this episode, which was recorded in advance of a forthcoming Italian election in which the far-right are expected to do well, Professor Richard Bosworth of Oxford University addresses these questions and more.
This episode also arrives near the centenary of the Fascists’ march on Rome, which took place on 28th October 1922.
