    Edited by Richard J. Evans, Dick Geary ...

  • Fascism

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Kevin Passmore ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    What is fascism? Is it revolutionary? Or is it reactionary? Can it be both? Fascism is notoriously hard to define. How do we make sense of an ideology that appeals to streetfighters and intellectuals alike? That is overtly macho in style, yet attracts many women? That calls for a return to tradition while maintaining a fascination with technology? And that preaches violence in the name of an ... Read more

  • The Tainted Source

    The Undemocratic Origins of the European Idea

    by John Laughland ...
    An ideology is sweeping Europe and the world which threatens democracy and the rule of law. The post-national ideology, which posits that nation-states are no longer capable of running their own affairs in a modern, interdependent economy, confuses the constitution of a state with the power of its government, and ignores the importance of the sense of community essential to any democratic debate. ...

  • A History In Fragments

    Europe in the Twentieth Century

    by Richard Vinen ...
    The problem with the history of twentieth-century Europe is that everyone thinks they know it. The great stories of the century - the two world wars, the rise and fall of Nazism and communism, female emancipation - seem self-evidently important. But behind the grand narratives, the politics and the ideologies, lies another history: the history of forces that shaped the lives of individual ... Read more

  • Fascism: A Very Short Introduction

    by Kevin Passmore ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    What is fascism? Is it revolutionary? Or is it reactionary? This book argues that it is both: fascism unleashes violence against the left and ethnic minorities, but also condemns the bourgeoisie for its 'softness'. Kevin Passmore opens his book with a series of 'scenes from fascist life' - a secret meeting of the Romanian Iron Guard; Mussolini meeting the king of Italy; a rally of Hungarian ... Read more

  • The Swastika and The Maple Leaf: Fascist Movements in Canada in the Thirties

    by Lita-Rose Betcherman ...
    In the turbulent 1930s, Canada faced a political undercurrent few remember today — the rise of homegrown fascist movements. While Hitler's shadow fell across Europe, small but vocal groups in Canada embraced his ideology, rallying in city streets, spreading propaganda, and testing the limits of the nation's democratic resolve.In The Swastika and The Maple Leaf, historian Lita-Rose Betcherman ...

  • Weimar Germany

    by Anthony McElligott ...
    Series series Short Oxford History of Germany
    The Weimar Republic was born out of Germany's defeat in the First World War and ended with the coming to power of Hitler and his Nazi Party in 1933. In many ways, it is a wonder that Weimar lasted as long as it did. Besieged from the outset by hostile forces, the young republic was threatened by revolution from the left and coups d'états from the right. Plagued early on by a wave of high-profile ... Read more
