Green Shirts and Others: A History of Fascism in Hungary and Romania FROM THE PUBLISHER
"This book is a newly revised and updated edition of Nicholas M. Nagy-Talavera's classic work The Green Shirts and the Others published by the Hoover Institution Press in 1970. Long out-of-print, this book is the standard work in English on the history of Fascism in Romania and Hungary. This new edition is a necessary addition to any library on twentieth century European history." "This book is the first work in English on the history of the Fascist movements in Hungary and Romania. The author presents an objective account of the history of the two countries from 1918 to 1945 and the role of Fascist movements during those years. He analyzes the rise of these movements - the Arrow Cross in Hungary and the Legion of the Archangel Michael in Romania - their evolution and growth during the interwar period, and the tragic periods in which each movement came to power in its respective country. The different situations in which these movements rose to power and the differences in their ideologies are amply demonstrated by the author as he draws conclusions and parallels from the comparative history of the two movements."--BOOK JACKET.
