'David Renton's thoughtful and open-minded study shines a light on this often misunderstood political current and contains vital lessons for anti-fascists today' -- Daniel Trilling, author of 'Lights in the Distance: Exile and Refuge at the Borders of Europe' 'An invaluable book showing us again why and how Marxists have been the best interpreters and fighters against fascism. Renton's updates make this even more urgent reading for taking on the return of fascist ideas in our time' -- Bill V. Mullen, author of 'James Baldwin: Living in Fire' 'This book is so much more than a historical survey because Renton’s detailed description of the development, growth and successful establishment of pre-war fascist regimes chimes worryingly with contemporary times' -- Morning Star 'Fascism: History and Theory not only remains a thorough account of interwar Marxism’s understanding of fascism, but also provides a strong argument for a vital understanding of fascism, both in analysis and as practice' -- ROAR 'A nuanced and intelligent discussion of what constitutes fascism' -- Counterpunch

'An invaluable book showing us again why and how Marxists have been the best interpreters and fighters against fascism. Renton's updates make this even more urgent reading for taking on the return of fascist ideas in our time' -- Bill V. Mullen, author of 'James Baldwin: Living in Fire'
