This book develops a number of new conceptual tools to tackle some
of the most hotly debated issues concerning the nature of fascism,
using three profoundly different national contexts in the inter-war
years as case studies: Italy, Britain and Norway. It explores how
fascist ideology was the result of a sustained struggle between
competing internal factions, which created a precarious, but also
highly dynamic, balance between revolutionary/totalitarian and
conservative/authoritarian tendencies. Such a balance meant that
these movements were hybrids with a surprising degree of internal
diversity, which cannot be explained away as simple opportunism or
lack of ideological substance. The book's focus on fascist
ideology's internal variety and aggregative potential leads it to
argue that when fascism "succeeded," this was less an effect of its
revolutionary ideas, than of the opposite - namely, its power to
integrate elements from other pre-existing ideologies. Given the
prevailing opinion that fascism is revolutionary by definition, the
book ultimately poses a challenge to the dominant view in the field
of fascist studies.
