Which is the best biography of Mussolini?

Probably the best book on Mussolini and Facist Italy I have ever read. The author's style and pace are excellent ( for me ) and he makes Mussolini seem like a real, flesh and blood, here and now kind of figure. Familiar historical information was presented in a way that made much of it more relevant to Mussolini's era. read more

There are a few good biographies about Benito Mussolini but there are very few that are written in English, especially compared to Hitler or Stalin, as an example. read more

"Mussolini: The Tragic Women in his Life" by son Vittorio The diaries of his son-in-law Count Galeazzo Ciano "Diaries 1939-1943" and "Ciano's Hidden Diary" (a better book than the first). As for the biographical, there is an interesting book from 1932 by Emil Ludwig "Talks with Mussolini" in which Il Duce discusses many subjects and questions put to him by Ludwig. read more
