A startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics.

They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion,...

Nearly fifty years after the collapse of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, the officially sanctioned art of his National Socialist regime remains largely unknown. Since 1945, few people have seen these controversial works: many were destroyed in World War Two bombings; most of what survived is hidden away, accessible only to scholars. In Art of the Third Reich, Peter Adam--who grew up in Berlin in the Hitler era--has gone back to Germany after years in...

A Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, 'is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.'

Ch. 8 (p. 265-302), "Anti-Semitism as a Factor in Native Fascism, " states that anti-Jewish arguments furnished an effective lowest common denominator binding together the many seemingly unrelated Native Fascist organizations, publications, and individuals. Antisemitism spread vigorously in the 1930s, aided by economic discontent, the example of Nazi Germany, certain features of the New Deal, and the communist bogey. Still, the majority of Americans...

"The Pope and Mussolini tells the story of two men who came to power in 1922 and together changed the course of twentieth-century history. In most respects, they could not have been more different. One was scholarly and devout, the other thuggish and profane. Yet Pius XI and 'Il Duce' had many things in common. They shared a distrust of democracy and a visceral hatred of Communism. Both were prone to sudden fits of temper and were fiercely protective...
