The reveiwers who claim it has not been "well researched" must not have read past the third page, to say nothing of the bibliography, one of the most impressive and detailed I have ever seen in any work of non-fiction.

Although Fascism is now synonymous with evil, this was not so in Italy, ...             My Rise And Fall8 reviews Benito Mussolini Da Capo Press, 1998 Intriguing history, but little theory. I bought this book on the belief that it would explain to me the very essence of Italian Fascism. Although some important themes and ideas of Mussolini's fascism were discussed, I was disappointed with the lack of detail and expansion. However, I was enthralled by Mussolini's elegant writing style.I found the Duce's view of his own history - however biased - very informing.
