description: This innovative volume draws together in a wide-ranging collection a series of new perspectives on the everyday experience of Europeans in the "age of fascism." The contributions go beyond the conventional stereotypes of organized resistance to examine the tensions and ambiguities within the communities, national and local, that opposed fascism. The authors show that under the pressures of civil conflict, occupation, and even everyday life, motives were rarely as pure and political alignments seldom as straightforward as our reassuring collective memories of fascism and war have led us to believe.
