I am looking to buy a book to read about Mussolini. However, I find a fair few book and cannot decide when would be the best to start with. So I was curious if anyone here has read any of the biographies on him and could recommend me in the right direction.

I would start with his autobiography

My Rise and Fall, Volumes 1-2
By Benito Mussolini, Richard Washburn Child,

Its self serving of course but nothing can give you insights like it

What would you say about Mussolini: A study in Power?

I've never read it Not big on Il Duce but that sounds like a winner

A. James Gregor's, Young Mussolini and the intellectual origins of Fascism, gives an insight in to the development of Mussolini's ideas and beliefs.
