'This important and innovative collection brings together the best recent work on the political dynamics of fascist and authoritarian regimes in inter-war Europe, emphasizing the complexity of their political dynamics.' - Martin Conway, University of Oxford, UK 'This is a fine collection. It provides excellent opportunity for judging the grounds - both convergent and particular - from which democracy was assaulted and contained in central and southern Europe between the wars.' - Geoff Eley, University of Michigan, USA
