and ultimately, in terms of world war ii, you cannot understand adolf hitler and naziism without first understanding benito mussolini and italian fascism. dr. bischof: you learned italian in college. you did not grow up in an italian-american family? dr. mclean: no, i didn't. i don't have italian heritage. my father was a historian of germany so i grew up learning some german and in high school i had gone through all of the german classes i could and had to strike a compromise with my father. he wanted me to take french and i wanted to take spanish so we decided on italian. so i studied italian history because i know italian and i did not want to have to use my latin. dr. bischof: you mentioned germany and if you think about fascism and racism, you first do indeed probably think about national socialism and antisemitism. your book makes a very clear point that italian fascism had very -- racist fascism had very little to do with jews and antisemitism. that came later in 1938. could you layout the main arguments of your book to have your audience understand what you mean by italian fasc

it is all very well and say, they should have known there was a young german corporal called adolf hitler who was going to season the treaty of versailles and help him and his nazi party get into power. what we always have to remember when we write history -- and we think about history -- is what people had to deal with at the time. how much power did they have, what constraints did they have, what is it that they were dealing with? theink we need to look at paris peace conference, which came at the end of a great catastrophe and try to understand what the circumstances were. what i would like to do is make a few general points about wars. ending wars is never easy, especially if those wars have been great and the level of destruction has been very high. apart from anything else, the greater the war, the greater the expectations and the greater the desire someone or something should pay for what happened. this was certainly the case at the end of the first world war. the war had shocked europe and had shocked most of the world partly because the 19th century had been such a good century f
