Description
'I Know These Dictators' by G. Ward Price offers a contemporary account of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, based on the British journalist’s personal encounters with the two leaders during the 1930s. First published in 1937, the book examines their early lives, political careers, rise to power and governing regimes, drawing on Price’s access to their inner circles. Writing before the outbreak of the Second World War, Price presents their personalities, ambitions and policies from the perspective of a correspondent who was initially sympathetic to both dictators. Read today, the book provides a revealing historical document of contemporary attitudes towards European fascism in the years before the war, as well as an example of how authoritarian leaders were portrayed to British readers at the time.
