"So fair, so thorough and, in the end, so convincing, it may well
become the most authoritative . . . study of the subject. . . . A
splendid book." "-The New York Times Book Review"
"Useful and timely. . . . Mussolini and Hitler were the
prototypical fascist leaders, and Paxton chronicles their rise to
power--and their global influence and ultimate fall--with a
brilliant economy." -"San Francisco Chronicle"
"A deeply intelligent and very readable book. . . . Historical
analysis at its best." -"The Economist
""[A] helpful contribution, thoughtfully mapping out the descent of
a civilized people -- first the Italians, then the Germans -- into
a primal state (and state of being) ruled by mythology, symbol and
emotion. . . . Serves as a reminder of our power and
responsibility." -"The Washington Post Book World"
"Until now there has been no satisfying account of fascism that
includes a convincing diagnostic kit for identifying its symptoms.
. . . Robert Paxton steps in to restore sanity, with his view that
fascism is not what was believed but what was done." -"Los Angeles
Times Book Review" "From the Trade Paperback edition."
