Antifascism has received little attention compared to its enemy. No
historian or social scientist has previously attempted to define
its nature and history - yet antifascism became perhaps the most
powerful ideology of the twentieth century. Michael Seidman fills
this gap by providing the first comprehensive study of antifascisms
in Spain, France, the UK, and USA, with new interpretations of the
Spanish Civil War, French Popular Front, and Second World War. He
shows how two types of antifascism - revolutionary and
counterrevolutionary - developed from 1936 to 1945. Revolutionary
antifascism dominated the Spanish Republic during its civil war and
re-emerged in Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. By
contrast, counterrevolutionary antifascists were hegemonic in
France, Britain, and the USA. In Western Europe, they restored
conservative republics or constitutional monarchies based on
Enlightenment principles. This innovative examination of
antifascism will interest a wide range of scholars and students of
twentieth-century history.
