It is now 80 years since Mussolini's Fascism came to power in
Italy, but the political heirs of the original Fascism are part of
government in today's Italy. The resurgence of neo-fascist and
neo-Nazi extremism all over Europe are a reminder of the continuing
place of fascism in contemporary European society, despite its
political and military defeat in 1945. This thoroughly revised,
updated and expanded edition provides a critical and comprehensive
overview of the origins of Fascism and the movement's taking and
consolidation of power. Philip Morgan: * explains how the
experience of the First World War created Fascism * describes how
the unsettled post-war conditions in Italy enabled an initially
small group of political adventurers around Mussolini to build a
large movement and take power in 1922 * focuses on the workings of
the first ever 'totalitarian' system and its impacts on the lives
and outlooks of ordinary Italians * considers the meshing of
internal 'fascistisation' and expansionism, which emerged most
clearly after 1936 as Italy became more closely aligned with Nazi
Germany * examines the demise of Italian Fascism between 1943 and
1945 as Mussolini and his party became the puppets of Nazism *
provides an explanation and interpretation of Fascism, locating it
in contemporary history and taking account of recent debates on the
nature of the phenomenon. Clear and approachable, this essential
text is ideal for anyone interested in Italy's turbulent political
history in the first half of the twentieth century.
