Review
"A History of Fascism is an invaluable sourcebook, offering a rare combination of detailed information and thoughtful analysis. It is a masterpiece of comparative history, for the comparisons enhance our understanding of each part of the whole."-Susan Zuccotti, The Nation -- Susan Zuccotti, The Nation
"Anyone seeking a guide to thinking about the history and essential characteristics of fascism could do no better than read Stanley G. Payne's invaluable book, A History of Fascism, 1914-1945, which is likely to be the definitive study of its subject for a considerable time."-John Gray, The New York Times Book Review -- John Gray, The New York Times Book Review

This review is from: A History of Fascism, 1914-1945 (Paperback)
Stanley Payne provides one of the most thorough and accurate overviews of Fascism in this book. The biggest problem with much of the fascist literature is that it combines fascism and Nazism into one category when in fact they are quite different. Payne grasps these nuances quite well and shows the nature and development of each. He tracks not only the rise of fascism in Italy but across Europe and the world. It looks at the failed movements in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe and the budding movements of the Middle East and the crushing defeats of fascism in Asia. The book is well written and thoroughly covered with an excellent bibliography for further study. All and all a great overview of fascism and one not to be missed.

This review is from: A History of Fascism, 1914-1945 (Paperback)
I thought this was a detailed account of the different forms of fascism. It goes beyond comparing Hitler and Mussolini, and shows the connections that existed between all of the fascist parties in Europe and beyond. I highly reccommend this book.
