Nolte responded, a correspondence ensued, and the result was the remarkable exchange presented in this volume. Fascism and Communism offers readers the rare opportunity to witness and learn from a confrontation between two of the world’s most distinguished historians over one of the most serious subjects of our time. Each from a different perspective, Furet and Nolte offer compelling arguments for the common genealogy of these two ideologies as well as reasons for the intellectual community’s rejection of this explosive thesis throughout the twentieth century. This discussion leads to a deeper understanding of the nature of totalitarianism as well as the trajectory and interpretation of modern European history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 136gAuthor: Francois Furet, Ernst NolteTranslator: Katherine GolsanContributor: Katherine Golsan (Translated by), Tzvetan Todorov (Preface by)Genre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2004
