Birth of Facist Ideology

When The Birth of Fascist Ideology was first published in 1989 in France and in 1993 in Italy, it aroused a storm of response, both positive and negative. In Sternhell's view, fascism was much more than an episode in the history of Italy. He argues here that it possessed a coherent ideology with deep roots in European civilization. Long before fascism became a political force, he maintains, it was a major cultural phenomenon.Sternhell, Zeev is the author of 'Birth of Facist Ideology' with ISBN 9780691032894 and ISBN 0691032890.
