The Anatomy of Fascism

Beschreibung

What is fascism? By focusing on the concrete: what the fascists did, rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this question. From the first violent uniformed bands beating up enemies of the state,  through Mussolini s rise to power, to Germany s fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists came to power in some countries and not others, and explores whether fascism could exist outside the early-twentieth-century European setting in which it emerged. "A deeply intelligent and very readable book. . . . Historical analysis at its best." “The Economist The Anatomy of Fascism will have a lasting impact on our understanding of modern European history, just as Paxton s classic Vichy France redefined our vision of World War II. Based on a lifetime of research, this compelling and important book transforms our knowledge of fascism “ the major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.  (Beschreibung aus externen Buchdaten)
