HOW TO SPOT A FASCIST

We are here to remember what happened and to declare solemnly that 'they' must never do it again. But who are 'they'?How to spot a fascist is a selection of three thought-provoking essays on freedom and fascism, censorship and tolerance - including Eco's iconic essay 'Ur-Fascism', which lists the fourteen essential characteristics of fascism, and draws on his own personal experiences growing up in the shadow of Mussolini. Umberto Eco remains one of the greatest writers and cultural commentators of the last century.
