A startling look into the fascist mindset, a portrait of unrelenting determination, and an impeccable work of historical fiction.

M tells the story of the rise of fascism from within the mind of its founder. A gripping and masterful exposé, it explores Benito Mussolini’s rise to power and a movement that, amidst a failing democracy, came to shape the world.

 Panoptic and polyphonic , Scurati’s book gives us the experiences of the fearful and the feared, the rhetoric of both the revolutionaries and the reactionaries … an immense mosaic ’ Lucy Hughes-Hallett, New Statesman
