Written under the pseudonym E.B. Ashton, Ernst Basch offers a mid-1930s analysis of fascist theory and practice, completed in autumn 1936. A German-born writer and translator (later resident in the United States), Basch was married to Austrian author Hertha Pauli and translated major works by Karl Jaspers, including The Future of Germany. Though not incorporating the latest developments in Germany, Italy, and Spain, Basch notes that events there only confirm his conclusions. Featuring the fasces, the Roman emblem from which fascism takes its name, on its cover, the work is both a study of Fascism and a measured defence of democracy.
