The Fascist Revolution: Toward a General Theory of Fascism

Synthesizing historian Mosse's (1918-99) life-long efforts to understand the nature of fascism, contains ten essays originally published between 1961 and 1996. He approaches the movement as a cultural phenomenon, and investigates how it and its adherents saw it and themselves. Among his subjects are fascist aesthetics, the French Revolution, fascism and the Intellectuals, the occult origins of National Socialism, and homosexuality and French fascism.
