 Amazon.ca: Mussolinis Shadow: The Double Life of Count Galeazzo Ciano: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Italian Fascist leader Galeazzo Ciano was convinced that he was loved by Italians when in reality he was, according to Moseley, "the most hated man in Italy." Moseley, chief European correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, tells the tale of the rise and fall of this man, who believed he was Mussolini's heir apparent.
But in 1943, the Allies were invading Italy, and Ciano was wary of continuing Italy's alliance with Germany: in July of that year, as a member of the Fascist Grand Council, Ciano voted against his father-in-law in a coup d'?tat.
Moseley suggests here that the greatest tragedy of Ciano's life was that he lacked the moral and political courage to break with Mussolini and Fascism back in 1939, when he began to have his first doubts about the Nazi alliance and the war.

 Pact of Steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article VII of the Pact of Friendship and Alliance between Germany and Italy dealt with the validity of the Pact: it stated that the Pact came into force immediately and that it was to last for ten years.
The first section urged the countries to quicken their joint military and economic cooperation whilst the second section committed the two countries to cooperate in 'matters of the press, the news service and the propaganda' [5] to promote the power and image of the facist Axis.

 Enigma Books - Diary 1937 - 1943   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Ciano Diaries are one of the most important documents recording the events taking place in Europe leading up to the Second World War and how they affected the rest of the world.
Galeazzo Ciano was in the forefront of those momentous events, not only because he happened to be Mussolini’s son-in-law, but more importantly because at the age of 35 he was also Italy’s Minster of Foreign Affairs and one of the major proponents of the Axis alliance with Nazi Germany.
The result is a fascinating daily record of all the major discussions and impressions gathered by Ciano in his innumerable talks with foreign and Italian politicians, diplomats and his own boss and father-in-law, the Duce, Benito Mussolini who as founder of the fascist regime, reigned supreme over Italian politics for almost 22 years.
