From the ashes of World War I to the devastation of World War II, fascism reshaped the modern world through violence, propaganda, and the promise of rebirth. Fascism: The Rise, Reign, and Fall of an Ideology delivers a sweeping and deeply researched account of one of history's most dangerous political movements.
This comprehensive book explores:
- The origins of fascism in postwar Italy
- Mussolini's rise to power and the creation of the fascist state
- The transformation of society through propaganda, repression, and cult of personality
- Italy's imperial ambitions in Africa and the Balkans
- The alliance with Nazi Germany and Italy's role in World War II
- The collapse of the regime and the legacy it left behind
- The global echoes of fascist ideology in the 21st century
Clear, engaging, and urgent, this book is both a historical investigation and a warning. It reveals how fascism took root, how it governed, and how its legacy still influences modern politics. For readers seeking to understand the past-and defend the future-this is essential reading.
