"For the reader who wants to understand what fascism is all about, this is the best brief introduction in any Western language, from the pen of the leading specialist."
Stanley G. Payne, University of Wisconsin-Madison

'This book - distilling and updating Griffin's ground-breaking insights into fascism - is the most comprehensive, lucid and inspiring guide for a new wave of research and a powerful statement of why studying fascism continues to matter enormously.'
