This book explores, from a transnational viewpoint, the historical
relationship between war veterans and fascism in interwar Europe.
Until now, historians have been roughly divided between those who
assume that 'brutalization' (George L. Mosse) led veterans to join
fascist movements and those who stress that most ex-soldiers of the
Great War became committed pacifists and internationalists.
Transcending the debates of the brutalization thesis and drawing
upon a wide range of archival and published sources, this work
focuses on the interrelated processes of transnationalization and
the fascist permeation of veterans' politics in interwar Europe to
offer a wider perspective on the history of both fascism and
veterans' movements. A combination of mythical constructs,
transfers, political communication, encounters and networks within
a transnational space explain the relationship between veterans and
fascism. Thus, this book offers new insights into the essential
ties between fascism and war, and contributes to the theorization
of transnational fascism.
