A new scholarly work, Building Dictatorships under Axis Rule: War, Military Occupation and Political Regimes, edited by António Costa Pinto and Goffredo Adinolfi is set for publication, shedding light on the political transformations that took place under Axis influence during World War II. The book explores how military occupations and wartime conditions shaped authoritarian regimes in occupied territories, offering perspectives on the relationship between war and dictatorship.
