The Fascist Revolution

<i>The Fascist Revolution</i> is the culmination of George L. Mosse's groundbreaking work on fascism. Originally published posthumously in 1999 the volume covers a broad spectrum of topics related to cultural interpretations of fascism from its origins through the twentieth century. In a series of magisterial turns Mosse examines fascism's role in the French Revolution its relationship with nationalism and racism its use by intellectuals to foment insurrection and more as a means to define and understand it as a popular phenomenon on its own terms. This new edition features a critical introduction by Roger Griffin professor emeritus of modern history at Oxford Brookes University contextualizing Mosse's research as fascism makes a global resurgence.
