"Paul Gottfried's is far and away the best book on fascism I've read in many years." --Michael Ledeen, Claremont Review of Books "Gottfried's study is particular, nuanced, and multifaceted . . . a model for the type of work that can earn the right a hearing from more attentive audiences." --The American Conservative "For historians, [Fascism] offers clear and provocative insights and arguments, and the very detailed notes are especially helpful. . . . Recommended." --CHOICE "Fascism is a meticulously researched primer on the true history of one of the world's worst ideologies. Upon finishing the book, readers will emerge with a firmer understanding of history, philosophy, and the ways in which words shape culture and reality." --Jay Lehr, The Heartland Institute "Gottfried brings vast erudition and interpretive nuance to the subject of fascism. This book is a significant contribution to the fields of political thought and European history." --Jeff Taylor, Dordt College "Fascism is a book of remarkable scholarship and sensitivity regarding some exceedingly complex ideas. Gottfried's navigation of the ins and outs of the interwar ideological quarrels in Italy and France is especially masterful." --Robert Weissberg, emeritus, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
