The Anatomy of Fascism Audiobook (Free)

What’s fascism? By concentrating on the concrete: what the fascists did rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this query for the very first time. From the 1st violent uniformed rings conquering up “enemies of the condition,” through Mussolini’s rise to power, to Germany’s fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists found power in some countries rather than others, and he explores whether fascism could exist outside the early-twentieth-century European environment where it emerged.The Anatomy of Fascism will have a enduring impact on our knowledge of contemporary European history, just like Paxton’s classic Vichy France redefined our vision of World War II. Predicated on a lifetime of research, this compelling and important reserve transforms our understanding of fascism-“the main political innovation of the twentieth century, and the foundation of much of its pain.”
