It pays particular attention to the early nationalist and then fascist, communist and new nationalist periods, highlighting similarities and differences within Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and including Austria and Germany where relevant to the story.Essential reading for anyone needing to understand the complex and turbulent history of the region, the volume offers key facts and figures supported by commentaries, chronologies, and biographical essays, and includes a glossary of terms and a full bibliography.
