This fascinating account of Ezra Pound and Italian Fascism allows the reader to understand the causes and results of Pound's ideology and actions.
"...an important book for Pound scholarship, and an extremely useful book for anyone interested in the political and ideological history of the first half of this century...As a piece of literary historical scholarship, the book is exemplary, and ought to put an end once and for all to denials of Pound's political heresy."
