Benito Mussolini: Difference between revisions

* Mussolini plays an important part in [[Larry Niven]] and Jerry Pournelle's [[The Divine Comedy|Dante]]-based [[Science Fiction]] novel, ''[[Inferno]]'', where he {{spoiler|guides the novel's protagonist [[To Hell and Back|Through Hell And (Not-Quite) Back]]}}.

* In ''[[The Pride of Life]]'', Othello's superbeasts are named for European dictators, including "Mussol" for Mussolini.

* In Harry Turtledove's ''[[Worldwar]]'', Mussolini is overthrown when Italy is eventually overrun by the Race, but is busted out of prison by [[Crazy Awesome|Otto Skorzeny]] and later seen in exile in the United States.

* ''[[A Greater Britain]]'', a work aimed at rescuing Oswald Mosley from the scrappy heap, does the same to Mussolini: he fights on the Allied side of the truncated equivalent to [[WW 2]], and it reflects on his political gifts which tend to be brushed over nowadays.
