The Fascism Reader

Routledge Readers in History

by Aristotle A. Kallis

The Fascism Reader is a fascinating and wide-ranging introduction to the complex nature, limits, aspects and dynamics of fascism as both ideology and practice. The book draws together classic and recent interpretations to trace the development of generic fascism. Exploring fascism in all its diverse manifestations, this book discusses the classic examples of National Socialism in Germany and Fascism in Italy, as well as a series of less familiar movements and regimes, including the Iron Guard in Romania, the British Union of Fascists, Salazar's dictatorship in Portugal and Franco's regime in Spain. The Fascism Reader explores all the key aspects of fascism including: A must for all students of European history, sociology and politics.

[Patrick Gilner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not very useful - too many sources that don't showcase enough of each argument. Too cursory except as a handy reference for specialists.
