The European Dictatorships surveys the extraordinary circumstances leading to, and arising from, the transformation of over half of Europe's states to dictatorships between the First and Second World Wars. Following the great success and acclaim of the first edition, the book is thoroughly updated to include recent historical research, largely prompted by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent transformation of the political map of Europe. The European Dictatorships describes the course of dictatorship in Europe before and during the Second World War and examines the phenomenon of dictatorship itself and the widely different forms it can take. From Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin, to less-known states and leaders this book scrutinizes the experiences of: Russia; Germany; Italy; Spain and Portugal; Central and Eastern European states such as Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Austria and Albania; Norway With clear, detailed and accessible descriptions and analysis, this is an essential and invaluable introduction to the study and understanding of the tumultuous events of early twentieth century Europe.
