This novel is the first volume in a tetralogy dedicated to Benito Mussolini and Italian fascism.
It begins on 23 March 1919, the day the Italian Fasces of Combat was founded, and concludes with Mussolini's speech to the Chamber of Deputies on 3 January 1925, marking the official establishment of Italy as a dictatorship.
The narrative is characterized by its blend of historical documentation and fictional elements, with an omniscient third-person narrator and periodic shifts into Mussolini's first-person perspective.
The book delves into the details of Mussolini's rise to power, his political strategies, and the historical context of early 20th-century Italy.
