"There is no better book on fascism's complex and vexed
relationship with truth."--Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism
Works: The Politics of Us and Them In this short companion to his
book From Fascism to Populism in History, world-renowned historian
Federico Finchelstein explains why fascists regarded simple and
often hateful lies as truth, and why so many of their followers
believed the falsehoods. Throughout the history of the twentieth
century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political
lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From Hitler to Mussolini,
fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the base of their power and
popular sovereignty. This history continues in the present, when
lies again seem to increasingly replace empirical truth. Now that
actual news is presented as "fake news" and false news becomes
government policy, A Brief History of Fascist Lies urges us to
remember that the current talk of "post-truth" has a long political
and intellectual lineage that we cannot ignore.
