War Veterans and Fascism in Interwar Europe

This book explores, from a transnational viewpoint, the historical relationship between war veterans and fascism in interwar Europe. Until now, historians have been roughly divided between those who assume that brutalization led veterans to join fascist movements, and those who stress that most ex-soldiers of the Great War became committed pacifists and internationalists. This book offers a wider perspective on the history of both fascism and veterans' movements..
