A Primer of Italian Fascism by Jeffrey Thompson Schnapp
Features the key documents pertaining to one of our century's defining mass political movements. This work emphasises the development of Fascist ideology in the country of its birth. It situates the rise and fall of corporatist ideals within the framework of the actual history of Mussolini's movement and regime.
"Read in conjunction with [Italian Fascism/A Primer of Italian Fascism] these two books fulfil a double roleFirst they provide a balanced survey of the nature and doctrines of Fascism. Yet just as important is the light they throw upon Italian institutions and the working of the Italian mind. Alexander De Grand, who is Professor of History at North Carolina State University, disagrees with some other contemporary scholars in that he sees Fascism as a bourgeois response to the challenge of proletarian revolution. The issues are involved. The material needed to unravel them is provided by "A Primer of Italian Fascism". It makes available, in many cases for the first time in English translation, the key documents on Fascism."--Rivista, Summer 2000 "A Primer of Italian Fascism makes available key contemporary documents, dealing with issues from fascist doctrine to Italian fascism and culture, including the futurist movement, with Mussolini's treatise of corporatism the centrepiece of the movement. These documents also expose fascist plans for a united European empire to mercilessly exploit the third world."--Morning Star, 3 July, 2000
