In this new book, David Renton, a specialist on fascism and anti-fascism, traces the rise of European fascism in the inter-war years. Key issues such as the condition of Weimar Germany, the character of British fascism, the Battle of Cable Street and the early life of Adolf Hitler are reconsidered in the light of new research. Equally important, the author considers the work of inter-war anti-fascists, men like Albert Einstein, and the wide range of anti-fascist artists whose \"degenerate art\" was banned by the Nazis, who were nonetheless fascinated by it. The post-war American Nazi party and its extraordinary leader George Lincoln Rockwell is also considered, through it grew out of the very different circumstances of the Cold War. Recent neo-fascism in Europe and the former Soviet states is covered, along with the historical links between fascism, nationalism and identity. For the general reader who wants to follow the history of fascist parties and the opposition to them, this is an ideal book. The academic literature on fascism is very large but there is no reliable and accurate general history which looks broadly at fascism in Europe and beyond and which places this form of political violence in the context of the opposition to it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49516996460817,"sku":"GOR003972932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53624820760849,"sku":"GOR009986922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750925159.jpg?v=1750701209"},{"product_id":"marx-on-globalisation-book-dave-renton-9780853159094","title":"Marx on Globalisation","description":"'All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned ...the need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the whole surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere' ...this was the Communist Manifesto's description of the global reach of capitalism. Globalisation, evidently, is not a new phenomenon; but on the eve of the new millennium, the processes that constitute the phenomenon of globalisation are intensifying, and being experienced in new ways. The immense scholarship and analytic powers of Marx mean that his writings on international capitalism and its effects remain of interest in current debates on globalisation. With this in mind, Lawrence and Wishart offer a new selection from the writings of Marx, in the hope that it will enrich current discussions. The selection includes extracts from The Communist Manifesto, Capital volumes 1-3, The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 and The Poverty of Philosophy Dave Renton teaches History at Edge Hill College and is the author of Fascism: Theory and Practice (Pluto, 1999).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49558306521361,"sku":"GOR004062638","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521520754961,"sku":"NLS9780853159094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0853159092.jpg?v=1751170690"},{"product_id":"trotsky-book-dave-renton-9781904341628","title":"Trotsky","description":"This is a short biography of the founder of the Red Army later out-manoeuvered by Stalin. Leon Trotsky became the leading spokesman of Russian Revolution, and was the founder of the victorious Red Army of 1918-1921, and did more than anyone to create the early soviet state. Yet Trotsky was out-manoeuvred by Stalin in the struggle to succeed Lenin. In the years followed, he developed the first systematic critique of Stalin's dictatorship. In 1929, he and his wife were forced out of Russia, moving from Turkey to France, and finally to Mexico, where he was brutally assassinated by a Spanish communist in 1940.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49593412944145,"sku":"GOR002399253","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50300168700177,"sku":"CIN1904341624G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1904341624.jpg?v=1751347881"},{"product_id":"c-l-r-james-book-dave-renton-9781905791019","title":"C.L.R.
