Features: Fascism was once a dark memory in human history. Did it really vanish with the end of World War II, or has it been in a latent state, resurfacing as we move toward the 21st century? This is not a sensationalist question. If you want to know the answer, please read Fascism, a collaborative work by Stuart Hood and Richard Janss. This book comprehensively traces the origins of fascism, which once flourished worldwide—19th-century extremist conservatism, as well as the four forms of fascism that emerged in Italy, Germany, Spain, and Japan after World War I. The book also examines, using extensive new material, the reasons behind the continuous expansion of far-right forces in Western Europe in political activities and the rapid rise of extreme nationalism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet region. Due to the authors' profound knowledge and extensive experience, the book is well-documented, offers insightful analysis without losing liveliness, and features vivid and concise illustrations of various figures and events. It can be said that this book is a highly valuable work on the study of fascism, suitable for readers of all knowledge levels.
