Michael MannCambridge University Press, 5/24/2004EAN 9780521831314, ISBN10: 0521831318Hardcover, 440 pages, 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.9 cmLanguage: EnglishFascists presents a theory of fascism based on intensive analysis of the men and women who became fascists. It covers the six European countries in which fascism became most dominant - Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Spain. It is a comprehensive analysis of who fascists actually were, what beliefs they held and what actions they committed. The book suggests that fascism was essentially a product of post World War I conditions in Europe and is unlikely to re-appear in its classic garb in the future. Nonetheless, elements of its ideology remain relevant to modern conditions and are now re-appearing, though mainly in different parts of the world.1. A sociology of fascism2.
