The Italian anti-Fascist press (1919-1945); from the legal opposition press to the underground newspapers of World War II

"Dr. Rosengarten's study of the Italian anti-fascist press opens by analyzing the fascist assault on the freedom of the press, which began even before Mussolini assumed power in 1922 and culminated in a series of decrees that by 1926 had made the legal suppression of opposition journalism absolute. Succeeding chapters trace the growth of the illegal opposition press and the activities of leading anti-fascist journalists who worked either in Italy or in exile." -- Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-249) and index. xx, 263 pages ; 24 cm
