“Very readable book”— Neil Gregor, Times Higher Education
Supplement
“Goeschel has added another interesting book to our reading lists”
—R.J.B. Bosworth, Literary Review
"An excellent study of the Axis in its own right, Goeschel’s book
explores an entirely new dimension of Fascist–Nazi relations by
mining the often overlooked, seemingly superficial, aspects of
totalitarian diplomacy. Sidelining scholarship that views the Axis
through the lens of ideology or a ‘fascist minimum’, Goeschel
presents a complex and satisfying story of an alliance driven by
self-interest, conflict and strategic manoeuvring"—Michael Ebner,
German History

“[T]he book is outstanding in its readability.”—Ángel Alcalde,
Contemporary European History
“Goeschel demonstrates the ambiguity in Nazi-Fascist relations,
depicting an alliance that was by no means inevitable, well-planned
or coordinated, let alone marked by a linear development to an
‘ever closer Axis’ made of equals.”—Bastian Matteo Scianna, War in
History
“Through meticulous dissection of the novel choreography and
symbolism of modern dictators, with special focus on the
constructed imagery of the meetings between Mussolini and Hitler,
Christian Goeschel's excellent book is able to cast more light than
any previous historian has done on the cynical self-serving
character of their increasingly catastrophic ‘special
relationship’.”—Ian Kershaw
“Fascinating, deeply researched and well-written. This promises to
be the definitive study of the Mussolini-Hitler relationship.”—Lucy
Riall, author of Garibaldi
