I've read a couple of good reviews of it, and I can say that it looks the goods -- it's certainly long enough (over 500 pages). As I understand it, Bosworth is one of the top people on Fascism, at leats in English, so that augurs well. I was lucky to be able to do a 4th year subject on <a href="http://www.unimelb.edu.au/HB/subjects/131-460.html" rel="nofollow">fascist Europe</a> which was brilliant -- Italy, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Romania and so on -- sounds like the sort of thing you were hoping for.

Could you please write up a recommendation (to buy or not as the case may be) when you are finished? I took a Faschism and Nazism class in undergrad at Penn State. Great class, but focused only on German F+N. (We were told this would be the case on the first day of class) I was hoping for a politics class comparing and contrasting Faschism in Germany, Italy and Spain. Enough was said about the military build up to keep me interested though. I am very interested in how "Mussolini's Italy" turns out.
