Description


The social psychology of Fascism and its "aesthetics", the seductive forms in which its inhuman aims were presented to appeal to both classes and individuals. An attempt to explain, through the study of documents, literary texts and film, the attractions of Fascism for broad sectors of European society without whose support and tolerance it could never have retained power, and the implications for our understanding of our own society.
