Here, for the first time in one volume, are two rare
autobiographical works by Benito Mussolini (1883-1945), founder of
Fascism and Italian dictator for twenty-one years. The first volume
(published in English in 1928 as "My Autobiography") describes
Mussolini's youth, years as an agitator and journalist, experiences
in World War I, the formation and revolutionary struggles of the
Fascist Party, the March on Rome, and his early years in power. The
second volume (published in English in 1948 as "The Fall of
Mussolini") was written during the brief period between his rescue
by the Germans in September 1943 and his execution by Italian
partisans in April 1945. Here the Duce recounts his last year in
power and the coup d'etat that deposed him. "My Rise and Fall"
allows readers to view the dictator from two unique vantage points:
Il Duce, eyes on the horizon, chin thrust forward, as he nears his
political zenith; and Mussolini at his nadir, a desperate,
powerless, sawdust Caesar, soon to be shot and hanged, head down,
for all to scorn.
