Fascism's European Empire

More about the book

The book offers a groundbreaking analysis of Italy's occupation of the Mediterranean during World War II, framed within fascist imperial ambitions. It delves into Italy's ties with Germany, economic exploitation, and the forced 'Italianisation' of annexed areas, alongside its policies towards refugees and Jews. By comparing Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, the author highlights their imperial aspirations and the interplay of racism and anti-Semitism. This work significantly contributes to the fields of genocide, resistance, war crimes, and occupation studies.
