Milza and Berstein, about halfway through their book, say Mussolini was lacking in the mental caliber necessary for the dictatorship he brought about and headed, and that by 1936 syphilis and the diet prescribed for his ulcer seriously undermined his energy.
He delayed hard decisions as long as he could and then made them impulsively.
He did not delegate, ultimately.
They describe his style as one of hysterical narcissism.
Sounds more like Bozo all the time.
