Reviews

[sologdin · Rating 4 out of 5]

includes several essays on the nature of fascism, as well as an encyclopedia. decently thorough on historical phenomena, but not up to date on scholarship(no mention of Paxton or Griffin, fr'instance). was fairly annoyed by the favorable presentation of the 'horseshoe' hypothesis, that the political spectrum bends back toward itself so that far left and far right are almost identical. whatever.
