This book is absolutely essential reading. A concise exposition of fascist ideology and politics with historical and modern examples, this text contextualises the political developments in the US over the past decades and demonstrates why calling the current dominant ideology of the Republican party 'fascist' is neither ab exaggeration nor a slur, but a statement of fact.

Addendum: Those dismissing this book because of a "leftwing bias" or because it's "anti-rightwing" should really take a long hard look at what they actually believe themselves.
