I know that von Mises expressed partial sympathy for Mussolini's fascism as a counterforce to communism (though arguing that it could not work long-term), but where did he support race science?

I think it's important not to overstate. It opens the door to people like Phil. Both books are fairly skeptical of imperialism (particularly the latter), it's not just CYA. However, they're not anti-imperialist and both imperialism and fascism are seen as potential instruments.

Although Mises takes an instrumentalist approach to imperialism and fascism at various points and these are informative, what it's a defense of is his strain of liberalism. This all poses plenty of problems to chew on even without overstatement.

Your claim that the books purpose "was to provide a strategic defense of fascism and imperialism" calls into question your own competence and/or honesty as a reader of that book. It is therefore unsurprising that you see no issue with the quotation-editing.
