Trade Review"This book tells a fascinating story, one that needs to be told." -- -Nancy Wingfield Northern Illinois University "In the name of Italy offers a useful case study of the continuities found in the administrative machinery of Italian fascist regime and a provocative example of the politics of naming." -American Historical Review "The seven chapters of this volume, in addition to the introduction and conclusion, are followed by a list of thoroughly written bibliography and an index of names and important terms discussed, which make this book an indispensable research tool for both novice and expert scholars of the period." -Forum Italicum: A Journal of Italian Studies "I found this material to be both fresh and interesting." -- -Alexander De Grand North Carolina State University
