This is an important work for understanding one of the most important political movements of the twentieth century. In an age which seems to want to make so many of the mistakes of the 1920s and 1930s again it is important to understand just what those were and why, as Bertolt Brecht so ably put it, "the bitch that bore him is in heat again".

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (43)"A History of Fascism" is an invaluable sourcebook, offering a rare combination of detailed information and thoughtful analysis. It is a masterpiece of comparative history, for the comparisons enhance our understanding of each part of the whole. The term fascist, used so freely these days as a pejorative epithet that has nearly lost its meaning, is precisely defined, carefully applied and skillfully explained. The analysis effectively restores the dimension of evil. Susan Zuccotti, "The Nation" A magisterial, wholly accessible, engaging study. . . . Payne defines fascism as a form of ultranationalism espousing a myth of national rebirth and marked by extreme elitism, mobilization of the masses, exaltation of hierarchy and subordination, oppression of women and an embrace of violence and war as virtues.
