Document Summary
Duggan, the force of destiny + fascist voice. Paxton gives a general description of the rise of fascism and suggests how we may study this phenomenon. Duggan is one of the best historians of modern italy today. The first fragment is from his overview of italian history, the second from a study about italian fascism, which is based, among other sources, on diaries and letters written to the duce. Question 1: discuss paxton"s approach to the study of fascism: his strategy of research, as he himself calls it. Instead of examining fascism in a static, isolated term, the book will watch fascism in action. + mussolini was himself and ex-soldier, and he hoped to make his comeback as a veteran"s leader. + the veterans were ones hardened by front-line experience, who felt entitled to rule the country they had saved. (one characteristic of fascism was readiness for violent action)
