4.0

This is a very detailed survey of the major publications about Mussolini and Fascism in general published in the U.S. from the 20s through the 1960s. Despite being old, it contains still-useful discussions of Italian American anti-fascist activism, sometimes startling revalations about pro-Mussolini views in business and govt, and a good overview of post-war academic analyses of fascism. It also has a detailed and useful bibliography through the many detailed footnotes.
