Varieties of Anti-Fascism Reviews

'...elegant, erudite and important collection of essays...This wholly excellent and stylishly written volume deserves to be read very widely; it will appeal especially to modern historians, to politics students and their tutors, to politicians and activists and indeed to anyone who would attempt to understand the complexities of mid-twentieth-century politics and the devastating consequences of political failure.' -Derek Hawes, University of Bristol, Journal of Contemporary European Studies
