Il fascismo non può essere considerato come un fenomeno isolato; esso fu un fenomeno con caratteristiche proprie, che, fin dagli anni Venti, fu guardato con curiosità e interesse da politici, economisti e intellettuali di altri paesi. Diggins nel suo libro, analizza con attenzione le reazioni che i vari settori dell'opinione pubblica statunitense ebbero di fronte al fascismo.
