In 1943, after three years of warfare, King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy hatched a conspiracy to capitulate to the Allies and betray Italy's German allies in a desperate attempt to keep his throne. The king orchestrated a dramatic vote of no confidence on July 25th in Mussolini's own Grand Council, and shortly after ordered the arrest of Mussolini. Hitler intervened, dispatching SS commandos to rescue Mussolini in a daring escapade and spirit him away to the north of the country, establishing a new fascist state with Mussolini at the head: the Italian Social Republic.
Rise and Fight traces the turbulent final chapter of Benito Mussolini's political life through his words from 1943 to 1945, voiced in the midst of a collapsing Fascist order. In the shadow of German occupation, civil war, and Allied invasion, Mussolini attempted to redefine Fascism through the lens of socialization, rallying loyalists around a vision of a rejuvenated revolutionary state.
From Mussolini's impassioned speeches during the first days of the Italian Social Republic to his somber Political Testament written just days before his execution, Rise and Fight reflects both a last-ditch ideological crusade and a leader grappling with betrayal, destiny, and defeat. Ardent visions of a New Europe were mixed with determined resistance in the war of civilization, even as his world fell into ruin around him.
Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present - many of which appear for the first time in English - Mussolini's final words, offering rare insight into the propaganda, desperation, and enduring convictions of a regime on the brink. More than a historical document, the records of these speeches are the voice of a movement fighting to shape its legacy in the face of inevitable collapse.
