Introducing Fascism - Hood Stuart - książka

Opis

Did Fascism truly conclude with the Allies' triumph over the Axis in 1945, or has it merely been dormant, now stirring anew in the 21st century? The book "Introducing Fascism" delves into the roots of Fascism, tracing back to 19th-century ultra-conservative traditions and the philosophies of Nietzsche, Wagner, and others, which contributed to making racist ideologies socially acceptable, ultimately culminating in the dreadful rationale of the Holocaust. This work explores the four distinct forms of Fascism that emerged in Italy, Germany, Spain, and Japan following World War I. Furthermore, it extends its focus beyond today's headlines of neo-Nazi aggression, examining the growing political success of far-right movements in Western Europe as well as the surge of extreme nationalism in Eastern Europe and the territories of the former Soviet Union.
