Giovanni Gentile

"In Gregor's reading of Gentile, fascism was - and remains - an anti-democratic reaction to what were seen to be the domination by advanced industrial democracies of less-developed or status-deprived communities and nations languishing on the margins of the "Great Powers." The first book-length analysis in English of Gentile's thought in over thirty years, this volume is valuable not only as a work of historical scholarship but as a timely warning.

While Marxism-Leninism has passed into history, fascism may yet reemerge as an external threat to democratic nations."--BOOK JACKET.
