Opis

Were the Great War veterans, millions of men with war experience, including Hitler and Mussolini themselves, a crucial factor in the rise of fascism in interwar Europe? Many historians have debated this fascinating question, but Angel Alcalde now offers a new and highly illuminating explanation from an innovative transnational perspective.

Recenzje

'… Alcalde takes a central research discussion as a point of departure for a refreshing study … In his view on the Italian case, he brings a lot to the table. As for the European level, his work will inspire new research and discussion.' Julia Eichenberg, War in History
