Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A harrowing account of life in Italy in the year leading up to World War II, available in the US for the first time.In 1939 it was not a foregone conclusion that Mussolini would enter World War II on the side of Hitler. In this previously unpublished and only recently discovered diary, Iris Origo, author of the classic War in Val dOrcia, provides a vivid account of how Mussolini decided on a course of action that would devastate his country and ultimately destroy his regime. Though the British-born Origo lived with her Italian husband on an estate in a remote part of Tuscany, she was supremely well-connected and regularly in touch with intellectual and diplomatic circles in Rome, where her godfather, William Phillips, was the American ambassador. Her diary describes the Fascist governments growing infatuation with Nazi Germany as Hitlers armies marched triumphantly across Europe and the campaign of propaganda and intimidation that was mounted in support of its new aims. The book ends with the birth of Origos daughter and Origos decision to go to Rome to work with prisoners of war at the Italian Red Cross. Together with War in Val dOrcia, A Chill in the Air oers an indispensable record of Italy at war as well as a thrilling story of a formidable womans transformation from observer to actor at a great historical turning point. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781681372648
