What is the most comprehensive book on Fascism and its derivatives? Its doctrines, economics, purpose etc.

This is supposed to be good, what does /lit/ think?

Foucault called this the manual for anti-fascism. I've read it. It may seem incomprehensible at first but it's purposely nonlinear.
Are you fascist OP?

Check out Roger Griffin.

No. I'd just like to know more about it because a lot of the time the rise and purpose of Fascism is reduced a simplistic narrative of it being evil incarnate.

>>3900627

Any particular work of his you'd recommend?

The Nature of Fascism. It might cost a bit because for some reason all books pertaining to fascism are incredibly over-priced.

Stanley Payne's A History of Fascism, 1914-1945 is pretty good.

I will check it out thanks.

>>3900657

Thanks, will look at that too.

I should ask as well. Is The Three Faces of Fascism, The Nature of Fascism and A History of Fascism unbiased? I don't like it when authors feel they have to tell me how bad or stupid the people or ideas involved are, however true it may be.

Roger Griffin is disinterested and academically rigorous.
