Afterthoughts
Paul Gottfried is Editor in Chief of Chronicles and former Horace Raffensperger Professor of Humanities at Elizabethtown College. He is the editor or author of fourteen books, including, The Vanishing Tradition and Fascism.
Antifascism: The Course of a Crusade is a sequel to Gottfried's
Fascism: The Career of a Concept (2016), which was the best book on
[the subject] to appear in a decade or more.
*First Things*
Antifascism is an important book for understanding that every time
our rulers claim to be fighting old fascism, they are really
proposing new tyranny.
*The Washington Examiner*
The reader will learn that the contemporary treatment of fascism
[is] very different from how Marxist and liberal critics responded
to the ideology and its adherents in the first half of the 20th
century. Antifascism is as much a book of history as it is a book
of political science.
*American Conservative*
No doubt Gottfried's book will rank among the most scholarly and
convincing responses to the delirium of the present.
*Éléments*
As Gottfried notes, numerous Catholics opposed Nazism during the
1930s and 40s, but those who fought real Nazis back when doing so
required actual courage were motivated by values radically
different from those of today's self-styled antifa crusadersWhat is
perhaps most important to note is that, back in the day, the Nazis'
Catholic opponents were not driven by hate but by love.
