Yet, this catastrophic de- feat was resisted at every turn by Marxists who tried, unsuccessfully, to push the mass communist and social democratic parties to organize an opposition to the rising movements of violent reaction. Their devastating failure paved the way for the gas chamber, decades of ruthless dictatorship, and war.</p><p>This important volume offers the most complete selection of Marxist writings on fascism from this period in any language and provides invaluable lessons for contemporary readers concerned with today's far-right.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Marxists in the Face of Fascism</em>, with a very useful introduction by David Beetham, is an unrivaled and vital piece, allowing us to grasp the major contribution of inter-war Marxism, in its great diversity of theoretical approaches and political orientations, and to deepening our understanding of fascism and to antifascist practice--Ugo Palheta, author <em>La Possibilité du Fascisme</em></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>David Beetham is Professor of Politics at the University of Leeds.</p>
