Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Mr Eatwell is a learned and careful scholar who has read a formidable list of sources, often very recondite, and he handles his material judiciously" (Hugh Trevor-Roper Sunday Telegraph)

"A wide-ranging and thoroughly up-to-date survey... bravely argued, for there still exists a good deal of scholarly hostility to the idea that fascism did constitute a serious intellectual alternative" (Richard Overy Sunday Times)

"Stands out from almost everything else which has appeared on the subject by being as illuminating to the specialist as to the general reader" (Searchlight Roger Griffin)

"It takes us from Nietzsche and Romantic movement to cyber space oiks who swap neo-fascist sentiments... on the Internet" (Ian Thomson Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

Fascism is one of the most destructive and influential political movements of the twentieth century. Its imagery - of mad dictators and nihilistic violence - haunts our imaginations, and its historical legacy is almost too momentous to be understood. At the same time it is curiously elusive: how do we define fascism? What is the basis of its appeal? Why did it take root so successfully in Germany and Italy, and not in France or Britain?

Fascism: A History - a sweeping, enthralling study - tackles theses questions, and considers fascism in the round. It draws together its different strands, in Italy, Germany, France, and Britain, looking at its evolution up and during World War II; and it assesses post-war fascism, and examines its future in a Europe whose boundaries continue to change. Along the way, Fascism provides vivid portraits of Mussolini, Hitler, Oswald Mosley and other key figures within the movement. Lucid, dramatic, challenging, Fascism is a definitive book of its kind.
