This edited collection presents new research on how the Great War
and its aftermath shaped political thought in the interwar period
across Europe. Assessing the major players of the war as well as
more peripheral cases, the contributors challenge previous
interpretations of the relationship between veterans and fascism,
and provide new perspectives on how veterans tried to promote a new
political and social order. Those who had frontline experience of
the First World War committed themselves to constructing a new
political and social order in war-torn Europe, shaped by their
experience of the war and its aftermath. A number of them gave
voice to the need for a world order free from political and social
conflict, and all over Europe veterans imagined a third way between
capitalist liberalism and state-controlled socialism. By doing so,
many of them moved towards emerging fascist movements and became,
in some case unwillingly, the heralds of totalitarian
dictatorships.

The term "extreme right", despite an agreed upon definition,
continues to be in common usage, and is frequently employed in
political discourse, in the media, and in academic debates. This
volume presents a broad range of movements, political parties and
persons, all of them representing positions and continuities within
the framework of the extreme right in the space of a century. The
contributions all bring new knowledge and perspectives, and give an
insight into current research in a number of fields, ranging from
the end of the First World War to the first decades of the 21st
century.
