This volume dealing with the male body in the iconography of
fascism reflects an ambition rather than an achievement. The
supremacy of the global fascist superman never became a reality but
was certainly an intention. This work explores the use of the image
of the male body for this purpose in European, American and Asian
fascism of varying degrees and various interpretations, and the
differences and similarities involved. Among the similarities isthe
fact that sport in all the cases in this volume was at the centre
of the induction of the male body (and mind) into martial
self-sacrifice. Sport was an important part of fascist
socialization. The reasons are not hard to find. Sport develops
muscle and muscle is equated with power - literally and
metaphorically. War, the essence of fascism, demands physical
fitness and sport helps promote this fitness. Competitive sport can
help develop attitudes of aggression and aggression is essential in
war.
