lf a man cannot stand freedom, he will probably turn fascist. This, in the fewest possible words, is the essential argument in this modem classic, Escape from Freedom. The author, Erich Fromm, is a distinguished psychologist, late of Berlin and Heidelberg, now of New York City.

Los años 50 constituyen la época más desconocida de la historia reciente de España. Entre los terribles años 40 de la posguerra y los cambios que trajeron los 60. Manuel Espín acude al rescate de esos tiempos en La España resignada (1952-1960) para devolvernos la imagen de un país que quiere dejar atrás los terribles recuerdos de la guerra y la posguerra para empezar a mirar hacia el futuro con esperanza.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

In On Xi Jinping, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd provides an authoritative account of the ideological worldview driving Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage—that of President Xi Jinping, who now holds near-total control over the Chinese Communist Party and is now, in effect, president-for-life. Rudd argues that Xi’s worldview differs significantly from those of the leaders who preceded him, and that this ideological shift is reflected in the real world of Chinese policy and behaviour.

There is no story in 20th-century history more important to understand than Hitler’s rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world’s most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time.

In ihrem neuen Buch erzählt Jana Hensel vom Ende eines großen ostdeutschen Traums. Was vor über 35 Jahren als Aufbruch in eine neue Ära begann, wird heute von vielen Ostdeutschen zunehmend infrage gestellt – die Demokratie selbst gerät ins Wanken. Scharfsinnig zeichnet Hensel den langen Weg nach rechts nach, der für viele einst links begann und durch eine wiedervereinte Republik führt, die mitten in einer ihrer schwersten Krisen steckt.

This classic, definitive account of totalitarianism traces the emergence of modern racism as an "ideological weapon for imperialism", beginning with the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe in the 19th century and continuing through the New Imperialism period from 1884 to World War I.

In Empire of Terror, Mark D. Silinsky argues that Iran is one of the United States’ deadliest enemies. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known as the Guards, bring Iran’s sway over much of the greater Middle East, and pose a growing existential threat to Western security.

What is fascism? By focusing on the concrete, what the fascists did rather than what they said, the esteemed historian Robert O. Paxton answers this question for the first time. From the first violent uniformed bands beating up "enemies of the state", through Mussolini's rise to power, to Germany's fascist radicalization in World War II, Paxton shows clearly why fascists came to power in some countries and not others.

Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

Judith Butler, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti-gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization—and even “man” himself. In this book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction.

A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. 

Weak, corrupt, and politically unstable, the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are dismissed as isolated and irrelevant to the outside world. But are they? This hard-hitting book argues that Central Asia is in reality a globalization leader with more extensive involvement in economics, politics, and security dynamics beyond its borders than any other world region. Yet Central Asia's international activities are mostly hidden from view, with disturbing implications for world security.

Focusing mostly on Italy and Germany but also considering Spain, Romania, Japan, and movements in other countries, Payne describes fascism as revolutionary ultranationalism based on national rebirth, extreme elitism, mass mobilization, and the promotion of violence and military virtues. He also suggests that the early Russian communists borrowed many techniques from fascism, and that though we are fairly well-inoculated against fascism itself, the values it represents could still emerge in new forms.

"Ritengo sia possibile indicare una lista di caratteristiche tipiche di quello che vorrei chiamare l''Ur-Fascismo', o il 'fascismo eterno'. L'Ur-Fascismo è ancora intorno a noi, talvolta in abiti civili. Sarebbe così confortevole, per noi, se qualcuno si affacciasse sulla scena del mondo e dicesse: 'voglio riaprire Auschwitz, voglio che le camicie nere sfilino ancora in parata sulle piazze italiane!'. Ahimè, la vita non è così facile. L'Ur-Fascismo può ancora tornare sotto le spoglie più innocenti."

Da quasi un secolo la storia di Anna Frank continua a emozionare e sorprendere. Il suo volto è divenuto simbolo della shoah, dell'olocausto, una tragedia collettiva che ha sapientemente documentato con il celebre Diario di Anne Frank, letto da milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. Durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, Anne ha dovuto affrontare la brutalità di Hitler, vivendo l'orrore di quello che è stato il campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. La sua breve vita, iniziata a Francoforte sul Meno, è stata infine stroncata dal nazismo nel campo di sterminio di Bergen-Belsen.

An immediate sensation when it was first published in two volumes in 1945, Popper's monumental achievement has attained legendary status on both the Left and Right and is credited with inspiring anticommunist dissidents during the Cold War. Arguing that the spirit of free, critical inquiry that governs scientific investigation should also apply to politics, Popper traces the roots of an opposite, authoritarian tendency to a tradition represented by Plato, Marx, and Hegel.

Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective reading of Italian Fascism or National Socialism.

Am 6. April 1967 hielt Theodor W. Adorno auf Einladung des Verbands Sozialistischer Studenten Österreichs an der Wiener Universität einen Vortrag, der aus heutiger Sicht nicht nur von historischem Interesse ist. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs der NPD, die bereits in den ersten beiden Jahren nach ihrer Gründung im November 1964 erstaunliche Wahlerfolge einfahren konnte, analysiert Adorno Ziele, Mittel und Taktiken des neuen Rechtsradikalismus dieser Zeit.

The United States of America has been the most powerful country in the world for more than 70 years, but recently the US National Security Strategy declared that the return of great power competition with Russia and China is the greatest threat to US national security. Further, many analysts predict that America's autocratic rivals will have at least some success in disrupting - and, in the longer term, possibly even displacing - US global leadership. Brilliant and engagingly written, The Return of Great Power Rivalry argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong.

Si la historia tiene una utilidad por antonomasia es la de impedir que los episodios más oscuros de esta se repitan. Un conocimiento de los distintos movimientos fascistas que surgieron tras la Primera Guerra Mundial y que detentaron el poder en numerosos países europeos en el período de entreguerras, es necesario para impedir que, en épocas de crisis económicas y de valores, vuelvan a seducir a los pueblos con su mensaje de regeneración expeditiva.

Written in the tradition of historians like Stacy Schiff and Amanda Foreman who find modern lessons in ancient history, this provocative narrative explores the lives of five remarkable pharaohs who ruled Egypt with absolute power, shining a new light on the country's 3,000-year empire and its meaning today.

En este ensayo lúcido, directo y profundamente documentado, la periodista francesa Salomé Saqué radiografía el ascenso de la extrema derecha en Francia y Europa, desvelando cómo ha conseguido imponer su visión del mundo y debilitar los valores democráticos sin disparar una sola bala. Con una escritura ágil y valiente, la autora denuncia la eficacia de una estrategia cultural de fondo: la normalización del discurso del odio, el recorte de derechos y la banalización de lo inaceptable.

Am 19. Juli 1936 besteigt General Francisco Franco ein Flugzeug in Richtung Tetuán, um sich einem Aufstand gegen die spanische Republik anzuschließen. Spontan brechen mutige Freiwillige aus mehr als fünfzig Ländern auf, um Spanien gegen den faschistischen Umsturz zu verteidigen. Spontan beschließen Zehntausende Freiwillige aus aller Welt, Spanien im heraufziehenden Bürgerkrieg beizustehen. Es sind Künstler, Reporterinnen, Intellektuelle und Verfolgte, es sind Helfer und Krankenschwestern, Idealistinnen und Abenteurer.

Jason Stanley enthüllt in seinem neuen Buch die globale Strategie der autoritären Rechten, die Geschichte umzuschreiben und ein Jahrhundert gesellschaftlichen Fortschritts auszulöschen. Die schlimmsten faschistischen Bewegungen der Menschheitsgeschichte begannen in Schulen − wenn man die Uhr in Bezug auf Bürgerrechte, Gerechtigkeit und Inklusion zurückdrehen will, sind Schulen ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Mit scharfem Blick zeigt Stanley, wie Bildung zur Frontlinie im Kampf um Demokratie wird. Erinnerung, Kritik und Freiheit sind in Gefahr, warnt er.

In the aftermath of the First World War, the seeds of fascism were sown in Italy. While the country reeled in shock, a new movement emerged from the chaos: one that preached hatred for politicians and love for the fatherland; one that promised to build a ‘New Roman Empire’, and make Italy a great power again.
