Fascismos: para além de Hitler e Mussolini
São poucas as palavras tão utilizadas e que, ao mesmo tempo, abarcam uma tão ampla quantidade de significados como «Fascismo». O termo evoca opressão e injustiça, pode referir-se a regimes com tendência para o autoritarismo ou o desrespeito pelas liberdades individuais e, numa aceção mais restrita, ser atribuído a regimes ditatoriais. Mas o que é este fenómeno político tão específico que marcou o século XX? Com base numa extensa investigação, Carlos Martins apresenta a evolução de partidos fascistas de oito países que estiveram ativos no período entre guerras. Contextualizando a realidade política de cada território, apresenta os antecedentes que permitiram a propagação do fascismo, a história e lutas internas de cada partido, bem como as fi guras marcantes e decisivas para o seu sucesso.
De Itália à Alemanha, do Reino Unido à Roménia, de Espanha a França e ao Brasil, passando por Portugal, com Rolão Preto e o nascimento do Nacional-Sindicalismo, este é um livro fundamental para conhecer e compreender o fenómeno político que marcou o século XX.

I think this is an excellent reference book, especially from the point of view of getting to know the groups that existed within the various fascist currents. The focus of the book is fascism in specific periods (usually the early years) in countries such as Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Romania and Brazil. I really enjoyed it and read it in a week.
In the final section there is a glossary that identifies various fascist groups from various countries that I had never even dreamed existed in the most varied latitudes of this planet.
The author focused specifically on certain movements and parties and how they came to power and dealt with the regimes they were part of. That is a big plus. He delimited his analysis in time and space (physical and ideological). He didn't set out to make a comprehensive history of the regimes that subsequently resulted. This would imply necessary but unneeded simplifications. This option allows for the presentation of an ideological matrix and a discussion of concepts (what is fascism? What are its defining characteristics?) that clarifies a lot. The author's writing is clear, although not yet mature, in my opinion. My biggest surprise was how one may argue that fascism was born in France and not Italy (although it was politically sucessful for the first time in the latter).
