The Anatomy of Fascism

Book • 2005
In 'The Anatomy of Fascism,' Robert O. Paxton delves into the nature of fascism by examining the actions of fascist movements rather than their ideologies.

He surveys how these movements sought followers, formed alliances, and exercised power, highlighting characteristics such as the emphasis on historical grievances, the cult of leadership, mass-based national militant movements, repression of democratic liberties, and the use of violence.

Paxton also explores why fascists came to power in some countries but not others and whether fascism could exist outside its early-twentieth-century European context.

The book is based on a lifetime of research and provides a comprehensive understanding of fascism, its variations, and its implications for modern history.
