Mussolini's march on Rome; Hitler's speeches before waves of goose-stepping storm troopers; the horrors of the Holocaust; burning crosses and neo-Nazi skinhead hooligans. Few words are as evocative, and even fewer ideologies as pernicious, as fascism. And yet, the world continues to witness the success of political parties in countries such as Italy, France, Austria, Russia, and elsewhere resembling in various ways historical fascism. Why, despite its past, are people still attracted to fascism?
Will it ever again be a major political force in the world? Where in the world is it most likely to erupt next?
- In Fascism: Past, Present, Future, renowned historian Walter Laqueur illuminates the fascist phenomenon, from the emergence of Hitler and Mussolini, to Vladimir Zhirinovsky and his cohorts, to fascism's not-so-distant future.

Work Description
In Fascism, Past, Present, and Future, renowned historian Walter Laqueur illuminates the fascist phenomenon, from the emergence of Hitler to Mussolini to Vladimir Zhirinovsky and his cohorts to fascism's not so distant future. Laqueur tellingly uncovers contemporary adaptations of fascist tactics and strategies of the French ultra-nationalist Le Pen, the rise of skinheads and right-wing extremism, and Holocaust denial. It is a riveting, if sometimes disturbing account of one of the twentieth century's most riveting, if sometimes disturbing account of one of the twentieth century's most hateful political ideas, in a book that is both a masterly survey of the roots, the ideas, and the practices of fascism, and an assessment of its prospects in the contemporary world.
