(Subject: World War II - Italy) Ex library wth iusual stamps and marks, this book covers five days in 1945 - April 25th to 29th, culminating in the execution of Benito Mussolini and the desecration of his body in Piazzale Loreto, Milan. Angry crowds strung up his corpse, spat on it, stoned it, and otherwise desecrated it. Starting on the 25th, with the American and British troops closing in, and the Partisan forces reclaiming Italy, Mussolini, having retreated to Milan, was desperately searching for a way to cling to life and power; with him was his mistress, his ministers and the SS troops assigned to his protection.
