The Anatomy of Fascism

The Anatomy of Fascism

What is fascism? By focusing on the concrete: what the fascists did, rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this question.

From the first violent uniformed bands beating up â€œenemies of the state,â€ through Mussoliniâ€™s rise to power, to Germanyâ€™s fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists came to power in some countries and not others, and explores whether fascism could exist outside the early-twentieth-century European setting in which it emerged.

"A deeply intelligent and very readable book. . . . Historical analysis at its best." â€“The Economist

The Anatomy of Fascism will have a lasting impact on our understanding of modern European history, just as Paxtonâ€™s classic Vichy France redefined our vision of World War II. Based on a lifetime of research, this compelling and important book transforms our knowledge of fascismâ€“â€œthe major political innovation of the twentieth century, and the source of much of its pain.â€
