"Italian Fascism has been studied much less than German Nazism, but interest in the topic is increasing among American scholars, and thus the Fry Collection is being made available at a very opportune moment. It contains a wide variety of both primary and secondary materials dealing with many aspects of Fascism. These extensively document the character and range of Fascist propaganda and the special cult of the Duce that it fostered. Other materials illustrate Fascist social and educational policies, efforts to channel women’s activities and foster family life, and Fascist direction of youth activities. Fascist racial policies are represented, while many items deal with Italian colonialism, the rise and downfall of Fascism, and the anti-Fascist opposition.
The opening of this rich new collection will be welcomed by scholars throughout the country who are interested in the history of Fascism and of contemporary Italian history more generally. One of the most extensive gatherings of materials of its kind in North America, it adds appreciably to our knowledge of Fascism and greatly enhances the library’s holdings in modern European history."
