Description
Explore the fascinating life of Edda Mussolini, the dictator’s daughter, the wife of the foreign minister and one of the most significant women of Europe in the 1930s.
This audiobook sheds light not only on Edda’s personal trials, but also on Italy’s history during the rise of fascism.
Edda was the eldest and beloved daughter of Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, and the wife of Galeazzo Ciano, Italy’s foreign minister—making her one of Europe’s most influential women at the time. With a powerful character, intelligence, and charisma, Edda overcame incredible trials and losses: her husband’s execution by her father’s order, rejecting her father’s political beliefs, fleeing to Switzerland, arrest and exile for aiding the fascists, and her later life with a stain hanging over the whole family.
The edition is dedicated not only to the tragic story of Edda Mussolini (Ciano), but also tells about Italy and the terrifying power of fascism—how easily it took root in a war-torn, exhausted country and on a continent gripped by chaos and thirst for peace.
Based on archival materials, newly released documents, memoirs, and interviews, the book offers a new understanding of these events.
