Reviews

[Chase · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mosse gives an awesome overview of a "general theory of fascism" and is especially strong in making the case for a "revolution from the right" which challenges traditional discourse on the subject. However, it is also clear that Mosse is giving a cultural examination of the history of fascism (in which he excels, to be clear) and not a social examination of the movement. He touches on the intellectual aspects, or the lack thereof, in the both National Socialism and Fascism, but fails to really make a significant analysis of intellectual patterns and ideas in his comparison with the French Revolution.

Otherwise, a wonderful read.

Read chapters 3-6. Highly insightful series of essays. Dr. Baxa loves this historian.

[Ivano Porpora · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un libro che spiega, in modo conciso e chiaro, peculiarità e differenze di nazismo e fascismo.
Per non confonderli con altro; per non ripeterli.
