Giovane diplomaticà amante del bel mondo, Galeazzo Ciano aveva sposato nel 1930 Edda Mussolini, la figlia prediletta del duce. Per lui questo era stato l’inizio di una carriera folgorante,che lo aveva portato, a soli trentatré anni, a diventare ministro degli Esteri e delfino di Mussolini. Uomo intelligente e ambizioso, frivolo e corrotto, fu uno dei firmatari dell’ordine del giorno Grandi, che il 25 luglio 1943 provocò la caduta di Mussolini. In un vorticoso crescendo di colpi di scena, divenne poi il protagonista di una tragedia dai tratti shakespeariani che lo condusse alla morte per fucilazione. Avvincenté come un romanzo, questa biografia di Ray Moseley si avvale di nuovi documenti, testimonianze inedite, rivelazioni e interviste ai personaggi dell’epoca. Ne risulta uno spaccato del regime fascista da una nuova e avvincente prospèttiva, ma soprattutto il ritratto di una delle figure più controverse e tragiche di questo secolo: un uomo destinato a vivere e a morire all’ombra di Mussolini.

Married to Benito Mussolini's favorite daughter Edda, young Count Galeazzo Ciano (1903?1944) became il Duce's confidant, emissary, and heir apparent in the years preceding World War II. Appointed foreign minister in 1936, Ciano played a central role in the Axis partnership negotiations with Hitler and von Ribbentrop and masterminded Italy's invasions of Albania and Greece. But Ciano came to disagree with his father-in-law over Italy's partnership with Germany, and he joined with other dissident Fascists plotting to remove Mussolini from office. Ciano was found guilty of treason, and despite desperate attempts to trade his sensational diaries for his life, he was shot. This is the first biography of Ciano in English, and it is based in part on those diaries, smuggled by Edda out of the country in her own dramatic escape. Mussolini's Shadow peels away much of the mystery of the Fascist era, provides an eye-opening account of the ruling figures of Germany and Italy, and offers a close-up view of the daily workings of Mussolini's regime. Count Ciano's story is that of a highly intelligent man?but one also frivolous, arrogant, and overbearing?whose short life was characterized by espionage, intrigue, sexual scandal, assassination, and the abuse of power. As a leading player in Italy's alliance with Germany, Ciano gambled with his own fate and with the fate of his country. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
