Description
Fascism was the major political invention of the twentieth century, leaving a lasting impact on the world. To understand its allure and horror, it's essential to examine it in action, rather than just its ideology. This book by acclaimed historian Robert O. Paxton delves into the falsehoods and common threads of fascism, exploring its social and political base, leaders, and internal struggles.
Paxton's analysis takes a nuanced approach, examining how fascism manifested itself differently in various countries, including France, Britain, and Eastern Europe. He also examines how fascists viewed the Holocaust and whether fascism remains a viable ideology in today's world. This groundbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on the fascist phenomenon, challenging our understanding of twentieth-century history.
