Edda was the eldest and favorite child of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, the wife of Count Galeazzo Ciano, the Italian foreign minister, and one of the most influential women in Europe in the 1930s. Incredibly strong-minded, extremely intelligent and charming, this woman had to go through tremendous difficulties and losses: the shooting of her husband by her father's verdict; the abdication of her dictator father and his political views; escape to Switzerland; imprisonment and exile on charges of aiding the Nazis; further life with a stigma on the whole family.This book is dedicated not only to the tragic story of Edda Mussolini (Ciano), but also to the history of Italy and the terrifying power of fascism, how it gained a foothold in a country weakened by war and on a continent mired in chaos and desperate for peace.The book is based on archival materials, some of which have been recently published, as well as memoirs and interviews.
