This new text places interwar European fascism squarely in its historical context and analyses its relationship with other right wing, authoritarian movements and regimes. Beginning with the ideological roots of fascism in pre-1914 Europe, Martin Blinkhorn turns to the problem-torn Europe of 1919 to 1939 in order to explain why fascism emerged and why, in some settings, it flourished while in others it did not. In doing so he considers not just the 'major' fascist movements and regimes of Italy and Germany but the entire range of fascist and authoritarian ideas, movements and regimes present in the Europe of 1919-1945.

Product description

From the Back Cover

In Fascism and the Right in Europe, 1919-1945 Martin Blinkhorn confronts, as a social and political historian, the challenge of exploring and explaining the relationship of European fascism with other forms of right-wing authoritarianism. In doing so he considers not just the 'major' fascist movements and regimes of Italy and Germany but the entire range of fascist and authoritarian ideas, movements and regimes present in the Europe of 1919-45. While recognizing the important distinctions that need to be made between different forms of right-wing extremism, Martin Blinkhorn also argues that the existence on the interwar right of shared ground, selective borrowing, and pragmatic compromise often made those distinctions less important in practice than they appeared in theory.

Key features include:
# A discussion of ways in which, since the 1920s, fascism has been understood and defined by a variety of political propagandists, social scientists and historians
#The author's own conclusions as to how 'fascism' can best be understood
#Reflections on contemporary neo-fascism and 'post-fascism'
#A Glossary, Chronology, Bibliography and Who's Who section of key figures, providing a framework of information for understanding events

The book will be welcomed by students of History and Politics for its clear-sighted account of the explosive phenomenon of fascism. It provides a unique 'template' against which the development of fascist and authoritarian ideas, movements and regimes may be studied.

MARTIN BLINKHORN is Professor of Modern European History at the University of Lancaster.

  • Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2003
    In this study, a leading British expert on pre-World War II European politics provides a useful, succinct introduction to the fascist ideologies and movements, and their relationship to other right-wing forces between the two world wars. It is divided into discussions of problems of the scholarly study of generic fascism at the beginning and end of the book, and chapters on "foretastes of fascism in pre-1914 Europe," the inter-war European crisis, the fascist and right-wing movements of 1919-1939, fascist and right-wing regimes, and theories and interpretations of fascism. Attached are two maps and fifteen documents, as well as a chronology, glossary, "Who's Who," and structured bibliography. Lecturers will find this book to be an excellent tool for teaching surveys of the inter-war period.
    The one confusing aspect concerns the headings of the book and chapters: Whereas in another important study edited by Martin Blinkhorn a discintion is drawn between "fascists" or "the radical right," on the one side, and "conservatives" or "the establishment," on the other side (Unwin Hyman 1990), Blinkhorn, in this study, makes a distinction between "fascism" and "the right." Is fascism, according to Blinkhorn, a variety of the extreme right, or not?

    Great quality! Library cover was still on when I received it.

    Book was smaller in size than I thought, but provides good overview of fascism during this time period.

    I love this book and will now need to purchase a hard copy of the book. It is useful for preparing lectures on the topic and for primary sources.

    The book has hardly any validity and it's not what I expected at all. This gentleman did not do his homework. Throughout the book it states that fascism in Italy did not exist but then it states that Hitler used Italian fascism as a model for his politics, this kind of oxymoron is not the only silly thing about this book....keep your money and buy something that actually explains history as it truly happened not as in someone's fantasy world
