Italy is exhausted, tired of the political class, the inept moderates, and the agonizing machinations of a democracy that no longer seems to be working. And while the leaders of his country have sat idly in the safety of parliament, achieving nothing, he has risen to the top of the outsiders, the criminals, the arsonists and, most ferocious of all, the ideologically pure. He is a former socialist leader ousted by the party, a tireless political agitator, a director of a small opposition newspaper. He is Benito Mussolini. It would be a novel character if it weren't the man who most blooded the body of Italy. Nothing of the drama of M is invented: nothing of what Mussolini says or thinks, nothing of the protagonists - D'Annunzio, Margherita Sarfatti - or the plethora of squadristi, Arditi, socialists, or anarchists.
