Summary

Caroline Moorehead: Edda Mussolini - The most dangerous woman in Europe
(the book is in English)

Edda Mussolini was Benito's favorite daughter: spoiled, venal, uneducated - but smart, unfaithful - but flamboyant, a brilliant diplomat, wild - but brave, and - finally - strong and loyal. She was her father's confidant during 20 years of fascist rule, acting as an envoy to Germany and Britain, and playing a role in steering Italy to join forces with Hitler.
From her early twenties she was actually the first lady of Italy. She married Galeazz Ciano, who would become the youngest foreign minister in Italian history, and they were the most famous and glamorous couple in elegant, vulgar Roman Fascist society. Their fortunes turned in 1943, when Ciano voted against Mussolini in a plot to overthrow him, and his stepfather never forgave him.

In a dramatic story that includes hidden diaries, the fall of her father and the execution of her husband, a flight to Switzerland and a period in exile, we meet a complicated, courageous and determined woman who appears not only as a witness, but also as a key player in some of the defining moments of the twentieth century. And we see fascist Italy with all its glamour, decadence and political intrigue, and turbulence before its violent end.
