9/11 and its aftermath demonstrate the urgent need for political
scientists and historians to unravel the tangled relationship of
secular ideologies and organized religions to political fanaticism.
This major new volume uses a series of case studies by world
experts to further our understanding of these complex issues. They
examine the connections between fascism, political religion and
totalitarianism by exploring two inter-war fascist regimes, two
abortive European movements, and two post-war American extreme
right-wing movements with contrasting religious components. A
highlight of this collection is a fresh article from Emilio
Gentile, recently awarded an international prize for his
contributions to our appreciation of the central role played by
political religion in the modern age. This is preceded by an
editorial essay by Roger Griffin, one of fascist studies' most
original thinkers. Alongside these contributions the reader is
presented with a wealth of work that redefines the complex concept
of 'totalitarian movement' and our understanding of generic
Fascism. Taken as a whole, it comprehensively analyses the links
between particular totalitarian movements and regimes and the
concrete historical phenomena produced in the light of current,
radical theories of fascism, totalitarianism and political
religion. This book will be of great interest to all students and
scholars of international relations, politics and contemporary
history. This volume was previously published as a special issue of
the journal Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions.
