19321189091932. First Edition . MUSSOLINI Benito MORI Cesare. The Last Struggle with the Mafia. London and New York: Putnam 1933. Octavo original brown cloth uncut and partially unopened original dust jacket. $900.First edition in English issued within months of the 1932 first Italian edition of the authorized memoir of Mussolini's brutal ""anti-Mafia supremo Cesare Mori"" famed as the ""Iron Prefect"" for promising ""to eradicate the Mafia 'as a surgeon penetrates flesh with fire and steel'"" with photographic frontispiece and 15 full-page illustrations a fine copy in the original dust jacket.In the aftermath of WWI ""the supreme authority of the state was Fascism's blazon motif. The Sicilian Mafia constituted a state within a state. Therefore Fascism and the Mafia were on a collision course"" Dickie Blood Brotherhoods 225. In June 1924 ""Mussolini picked his anti-Mafia supremo Cesare Mori"" to lead the battle. ""Known as the 'Iron Prefect' because of his brutal methods Mori promised to eradicate the Mafia 'as a surgeon penetrates flesh with fire and steel' Throughout Sicily he exploited the Mafiosi's so-called 'code of honor' to put pressure on prisoners they were tortured forced to drink jugfuls of salted water and beaten"" Follain Last Godfathers 14-15. After five years Mori ""was recalled to Rome. His part of the job of eradicating the Mafia Mussolini declared had been completed; it was up to the judiciary to finish the task"" Dickie 226. Mori's authorized memoir first issued in Italian in 1932 was quickly translated for this first edition in English. In it he presented himself ""as a sort of Fascist caped crusader even a little local duce sparring valorously and successfully for justice and the Fascist way."" Yet Mori's own ""announced recipe for life 'Vendetta is firstly a duty and secondly a pleasure and a right' hinted at an iron realism or a cynicism which ill accorded with some of the more high-flown talk about Fascist new men and women."" Ultimately Fascism's victory over the Mafia faltered. ""It may be true that during the 1920s and 1930s Fascist policies had curbed Mafia killings and exploitation for the short term but conditions were ripe for the Mafia to renew itself with the American-led invasion after 1943. Mori's triumph had proved fleeting"" Bosworth Mussolini's Italy. First edition in English first printing: with ""First published in England March 1933"" on copyright page. Translation by Orlo Williams from the first Italian edition Con La Mafia Ai Ferri Corti. With photographic frontispiece and 15 full-page photographic illustrations. A fine copy especially scarce in the original dust jacket. hardcover books

La Dottrina del Fascismo. Cun una Storia del Movimento Fascista di Gioacchino Volpe. - THE KEY POLITICAL DOCUMENT OF FASCIST THOUGHT

193256938Milano Treves 1932. 4to. Original printed wrappers. Uncut and unopened. With a brindstamped publisher's mark to title-page. A very nice copy with slight marginal wear. 8 133 3 pp. <br/><br/><em>The scarce first edition in book form fourth thousand i.e. with mention of "quinto migliaio" on title-page of the key political document of fascist philosophical thought - the publication in which the ideological cornerstones of The National Fascist Party Partito Nazionale Fascista PNF are officially established. "The Doctrine of Fascism" the first part of which was actually written by Giovanni Gentile who is not mentioned as the author was originally published in the Italian Encyclopedia Vol. 14 1932 as the first section of a lengthy entry on "Fascismo" Fascism. Gioacchino Volpe's "History on the Fascist Movement" was also published in that volume as an appendix to Mussolini's entry and immediately after the Encyclopaedia-publication the two pieces were published together in the first book form of the work under the title "La Dottrina del Fascismo. Con una Storia del Movimento Fascista di Giocchino Volpe" by the "Biblioteca della Enciclopedia Italiana" which undertook the separate publishing of the most important entries of the Encyclopaedia. Mussolini added a series of notes that appered for the first time in the first publication in book-form. The present copy bears the imprint "Quinto migliaio" at the foot of the title-page. We have been unable to determine whether this actually means that the issues of the first edition were in fact divided into thousands and this thus the fourth thousand or whether as would have been common practice with eg. propagandist literature the "fourth thousand" was a way to boost the public perception of the immediate reception of the work. No matter whther the "Quinto migliaio" was a boosting gimmick or not the work ended up being published in enormous numbers after its initial publication in 1932. Not only did it appear in several newspapers already in 1932 it was also published again in book form already in 1933 and kept appearing in different versions with other additions on the subject throughout the following decades. It was also translated into numerous other languages and came to have a tremendous impact on the spreading of fascist thought. This magnum opus of Italian fascism came to have the greatest impact upon Italian politics and the entire political climate of Europe. A key concept of the work is summed up in Mussolini's own words: "Granted that the 19th century was the century of socialism liberalism democracy this does not mean that the 20th century must also be the century of socialism liberalism democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority a century tending to the 'right' a Fascist century. If the 19th century was the century of the individual liberalism implies individualism we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century and therefore the century of the State." </em> unknown
