Definitely strong variation in the quality of the various essays therein. Some, like the chapter on Hungary, feel a bit shallow to me. I'm still enjoying this book, but it's very hit or miss each time, and some authors tend to choose an incredibly academic/dense writing style, which isn't my preference. I think there are some interesting throughlines, like the threat of student fascist groups, that are worth thought.

It's so weird reading historians and social scientists from a couple decades ago talk about fascism. The elements emphasized, the parallels drawn, and the warnings leveled have all changed considerably compared to writings since 2016.
