Review Mussolini (Routledge Historical Biographies) / Routledge:Was Mussolini really the power-crazed cynic that many see him as? Was he a true revolutionary? Both ruthless and opportunistic, Benito Mussolini was driven by ideology and his desire to make Italy great. But conservative forces in the Italian establishment and factional warfare in his own Fascist party were stumbling blocks to his policy, and ultimately Italy never became as fascist as Mussolini would have liked. Peter Neville presents a new assessment of the life and times of the famous leader. This study places the fascist movement in its historical context and assesses its theoretical base. He examines the formative influence of the young Mussolini, his turn away from socialism by 1914, his regime and foreign policy as a leader, and his historical legacy. Clear and engaging, this survey is key to the understanding of one of the most fascinating of twentieth-century European dictators.

Review Diana: Her Last Love (Diana Princess of Wales) / Andre Deutsch:When it was first published in 2000 the content of this book was deemed so controversial that that ITV nearly decided not to broadcast the documentary that accompanied it. Five years later, there is still a huge interest in the life of the People's Princess. This book is established as one of the definitive works on her life. Diana - Her Last Love is the untold, controversial story of her relationship with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. It reveals how they met at a London hospital and how, for the last two years of Diana's life they managed to keep their affair largely secret. Khan unlike anyone else the Princess had ever met, and his desire to alleviate suffering, created a deep bond between them. In the words of Diana's confidant, Imran Khan, he was 'the man' and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Putting the story in context with the rest of Diana's life, author Kate Snell shows how the Princess's fascination with Islam can be dated back to 1990 and how she would have converted if she could win the heart of Hasnat. She also pieces together the evidence to argue that, when Hasnat finally broke off their relationship, Diana planned several strategies to win him back. The book reveals how Imran Khan agreed to try to persuade Hasnat to think again and, more daringly, how she decided to use the media and Dodi Fayed to make the doctor jealous. [+]Using powerful fresh testimony from some of her closest friends, Diana - Her Last Love gives a unique insight into Diana's world and a new interpretation of events central to the last years of her life.

Review The Life and Times of A D Blumlein (Iee History of Technology Series, 24) / INSPEC, Inc.:Burns, a physicist retired to a second career in the history of electrical engineering, presents the second biography of Blumlein (1903-42) this year. He describes how the British electronics engineer contributed enormously to the fields of telephony and electrical measurements, monophonic and stereophonic recording and reproduction, high definition television, electronics, antennas and cables, and radar systems of various types. Because the policy of the company he worked for discouraged publishing, only two learned society papers exist, there is no collection of personal letters, and most his friends and coworkers are dead, Burns has had to draw heavily on the 128 patents granted him between 1927 and 1942, but relegates the technical material to chapter-end notes for the sake of those who just want a good story.
