Washington, DC Author Publishes History of Fascism

July 2, 2015 - "The Oblique Nonsense of It All: A Probing Look at the Literal Meaning of Fascism," a new book by George Curletto, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

When Benito Mussolini introduced his National Fascist Party, it set about historical events that would lead not only to his fall, but the corruption of a word-or a concept-that once stood for noble human ideal.

Who among politicians today would be brave to attach the word "fascist" to his party? Yet "fascism" is not the monster word that most have made it to be.

In "The Oblique Nonsense of It All: A Probing Look at the Literal Meaning of Fascism," George Curletto makes a passionate call to reexamine the nature and the roots of this much-maligned word.

What he presents in an exceedingly voluminous work would surprise perhaps even the most diehard opponents of this idea.
