To the Threshold of Power is the first volume of a two-part work
that seeks to explain the origins and dynamics of the Fascist and
National Socialist dictatorships. It lays a foundation for
understanding the Nazi and Fascist regimes - from their respective
seizures of power in 1922 and 1933 to global war, genocide, and
common ruin - through parallel investigations of Italian and German
society, institutions, and national myths; the supreme test of the
First World War; and the post-1918 struggles from which the Fascist
and National Socialist movements emerged. It emphasizes two
principal sources of movement: the nationalist mythology of the
intellectuals and the institutional culture and agendas of the two
armies, especially the Imperial German Army and its Reichswehr
successor. The book's climax is the cataclysm of 1914-18 and the
rise and triumph of militarily organized radical nationalist
movements - Mussolini's Fasci di combattimento and Hitler's
National Socialist German Workers' Party - dedicated to the
perpetuation of the war and the overthrow of the post-1918 world
order.
