Ebner’s new book on Mussolini reviewed in Financial Times

Thursday, March 10, 2011, By News Staff

“Ordinary Violence in Mussolini’s Italy” (Cambridge University Press, 2010), by Michael Ebner, assistant professor of history in the Maxwell School, is an analysis of the way in which the Fascist regime used political violence and confinement to rule Italy between 1926 and 1943.

The Financial Times calls Ebner’s book an “excellent study” and “convincing account … of how the dictator and his followers deployed systematic violence over a period of more than 20 years that were the most shameful in Italian history.”
