Mussolini Red and Black. New York: Freie Arbeiter Stimme, 1938.

Description

For a full description of this work and its significance, see the description of it in the entry for the 1927 edition (published in New York) of Mussolini in camicia, q.v.

It took 11 years for Borghi's work to return in translation to New York, where it had been published in Italian initially, and in between, in French,  Dutch and English (in London) versions.

Note that this is the same translation by Dorothy Daudley as appeared in the previously issued UK edition. As I note in that work's description, Daudley's translation was from the French translation, rather than the Italian original, which is never ideal, of course.

Note that like the UK edition, this one contains the fanciful view expressed in the title of the Epilogue included here, "Hitler: Mussolini's Disciple."

The Collection contains the original (and post-war) Italian language editions, as well as the French, Dutch, British and this U.S. edition. 

To be sure, an interesting research project would be to compare all editions, especially to see whether the English translation from the French translation missed anything of significance in the Italian original. In addition, it would be interesting to see if the post-war editions published in Italy follow - as one hopes - the italian original rather than being a translation either from the English or French versions.
