Desert Lion of War Graziani Dies at 72
Italian field marshal Rodolfo Graziani, known as the Desert Lion, died at a Rome clinic at age 72. A veteran of Africa campaigns and World War II, he remained an unrepentant fascist, later linked to the Italian Social Movement and sidelined by postwar officials. He fought in Eritrea and Ethiopia, led in East Africa, served briefly as war minister in the Mussolini puppet republic, and was imprisoned before amnesty. He was born August 11, 1882 near Rome.
