LUIGI STURZO (1871–1959)
Italy And Fascismo (1926) · Translated by Barbara Barclay Carter (1900–1951) · Preface by George Gilbert Aimé Murray (1866–1957)
"This book provides for the English reader a careful analysis of the historical process which has led to the overthrow of the Italian Constitution and the elevation of a dictator 'trampling', as he himself expresses it, 'on the rotting corpse of Liberty'. It is written by Don Sturzo, a Catholic priest, and at the same time leader of the Partita Popolare, a party founded in 1919 to support a Wilsonian and League of Nations policy, opposing both Reaction and Revolution. The writer is now in exile ; his name is said to have been down on the condemned list as the next victim after Matteotti; and, like Professor Salvemini, he is sometimes commended by Fascist newspapers to the special attention of any assassins who happen to be idle in England. One who realizes all that this means will find it easier to admire than to imitate the moderation and the calm reflective insight with which Don Sturzo analyses symptom by symptom, the crises which have led Italy to its present pass. It is the tone of a dispassionate and Christian philosopher. There is no touch of the embittered exile. And though English readers may not always agree with his point of view, they will certainly find it interesting and instructive." (Preface)
