United States and Fascist Italy, 1922-1940

A comprehensive analysis of American foreign policy and Mussolini''s Italy. Schmitz argues that the U.S. desire for order, interest in Open Door trade, and concern about left-wing revolution led American policymakers to welcome Mussolini''s coming to power and to support fascism in Italy for most of the interwar period.
