Varieties of European Fascism

Abstract

A well-known specialist in the history of totalitarian regimes, Armin Heinen reanalyses in this study the controversial question of defining the notion "fascism". The bibliography in this field is extremely large, fact also illustrated by the consistent historiographical approach made by the author. Without attempting to thoroughly cover such a vast subject, Professor Heinen focuses his attention upon eight questions, considered as essential for the development of a "historical" theory of fascism.
