description: In the late 1960s, the epithet "fascist" has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of World War II, used indiscriminately to describe a political style or to serve as a sweeping accusation against diverse political movements that range from the new left to the new military regime in Greece. The crisp, probing essays in this volume confront the fact of fascism as a real phenomenon and put the problem into a historical perspective that recently has been all too often ignored. European Fascism includes an introductory survey by Dr. S.J. Woolf as well as general chapters, by Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper and Dr. Christopher Seton-Watson, on fascism as a historical reality and its influence in contemporary Europe. The countries dealt with singly by the other contributors are Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Rumania, Poland, Finland, Norway, Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal. The volume also contains useful bibliographies and chronological tables. The fifteen essays herein, by leading authorities on the subject, offer us the first really comprehensive study of fascism in Europe, with a detailed analysis of its roots, its extraordinary strength between the two world wars, and its prospects in contemporary Europe.
