Fascism
This quarter we will be reading Robert Paxton's The Anatomy of Fascism. Paxton was a professor of history at Columbia University, a noted scholar of modern French history, and a leading authority on fascism in France. In this study Paxton uses the examples of France and Germany to examine fascism's roots, establishment, and subsequent development. A key theme of his study is how fascism has emerged from the wreckage of parliamentary systems that have failed to solve deep-seated problems in a nation's experience.
The book is available from Amazon in a number of formats.
