"A timely and essential contribution to the field. The editors have done an excellent job in bringing together a series of chapters that show the different aspects of fascism and how it might be interpreted. . . . A succinct and accessible guide to the relevant debates."-Bob Moore, emeritus professor of modern history at the University of Sheffield "With nuanced scholarship, Fascist Legacies contributes to the intense and ever-changing debate over what is or is not fascism in the twenty-first century. The diversity of contributors, from historians to political scientists and activists, is unique. . . . It is transnational, if not global, in perspective and includes so many methodologies: history, political science, sociology, literature, education."-Brian E. Crim, author of Our Germans: Project Paperclip and the National Security State
