100 YEARS OF FASCISM
By: Richard Avila
For more than a century, fascism has often been portrayed as a foreign ideology confined to the pages of European history. But what if its defining characteristics have appeared much closer to home?
In 100 Years of Fascism, Richard Avila presents a provocative examination of fascism as a pattern of authoritarian behavior rather than a political label. Drawing on historical events spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, he traces how propaganda, censorship, racial segregation, political repression, militarism, and the concentration of power have repeatedly challenged democratic ideals.
From the rise of Mussolini and Hitler to Jim Crow segregation, the Red Scare, Cold War interventions, contested elections, and controversial wars, Avila connects seemingly separate moments into a sweeping narrative that invites readers to reconsider the forces that shape governments and societies.
Thoroughly researched and unapologetically thought-provoking, 100 Years of Fascism challenges conventional assumptions and encourages readers to examine history through a different lens. Whether you agree with its conclusions or not, this compelling work offers an engaging exploration of power, liberty, and the enduring struggle to preserve democratic freedoms.
