Peter Williamson's biography of Benito Mussolini is a valuable and insightful contribution to scholarship on the Italian dictator.
In this episode, I talk to Peter about the development of Mussolini's philosophy and political ideology, his approach to governance and leadership, and the factors that led to his undoing.
This episode is an excellent complement to previous episodes on Mussolini featuring Professors Richard Bosworth and John Foot respectively. And it holds powerful lessons for those in positions of leadership, as well as those in pursuit of power.
Peter's biography of Mussolini is called Duce: The Contradictions of Power and was published by Hurst Publishers in April 2023.
