Reviews

"A. James Gregor's forceful and highly informative book is mandatory reading for anybody interested in neofascism as a global phenomenon. Even those who do not agree with some of his conclusions will admire his scholartship, his analytical skills, and his rich insights. Gregor belongs to the endangered species of social scientists who have a deep knowledge of contemporary history; his work constitutes a most timely and valuable contribution to an often misunderstood subject." Zeev Sternhell, The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "This is a very instructive analytical tool in the study of neofascism, of what is not neofascism, and in the ways political terminology is abused. An important blow for scholarly precision and analytical clarity." Stanley Payne, University of Wisconsin at Madison "The Search for Neofascism, both methodologically accurate and conceptually rigorous, criticizes the extensive and ideological use that many scholars make of the word 'fascism.' By calling attention to the danger of 'neofascism' in contemporary China, this book offers an original, innovative, and sophisticated contribution to the study of fascism and contemporary political radicalism." Alessandro Campi, University of Perugia
