The purpose of this work is twofold: 1) To provide the reader with a detailed account of the ideological origins of Fascism as a uniquely Italian idea derived from a multiplicity of Thought-Deed philosophies which can be found all across the political spectrum; 2) to trace the historical rise of Fascism up to and including its victory in attaining political power, and to go no further. It is not the purpose of this work to serve as an overly ambitious history or a biased ideological critique.

That the Italian Fascist ideology and experience had its ups and downs, its pros and cons, is without question. However, it is the author’s intention to let the historical and ideological facts stand alone, and thus to let the reader digest the information herein without the typical liberal bias which permeates our society via the mainstream media.

Finally, it is the author’s wish for the reader to attain a new appreciation for the period of history covered within the pages of this book, and to delve deeper into the subject of Italian Fascism with an objective and unbiased mindset.
Whether or not the author was objective enough to fulfill the above-stated goals is for the reader to decide.
