Opis

The word 'fascism' is used so frequently in journalism and social media that it sometimes appears to have become a catch-all term of abuse, applicable to anyone on the political Right, from Hitler to Donald Trump, and from Putin to Thatcher.

Recenzje

"For the reader who wants to understand what fascism is all about, this is the best brief introduction in any Western language, from the pen of the leading specialist."
Stanley G. Payne, University of Wisconsin–Madison

This book distilling and updating Griffin s ground–breaking insights into fascism is the most comprehensive, lucid and inspiring guide for a new wave of research and a powerful statement of why studying fascism continues to matter enormously.
Aristotle Kallis, Keele University
