Summary

"Trump and Mussolini depicts two historic individuals, though divided by a century-the former at the dawn of mass society, the latter of social networking-as men of beginnings, exploiting these unique moments to their advantage and utilizing rhetoric, mannerism, and body language as weapons of communication often against truth and common good"--, Provided by publisher
