ABSTRACT
Ledeen: In an article I wrote several years ago, 53 I spoke about the change in the interpretation of fascism in the historical literature of the last twenty years. I argued that at the end of World War II we had a model of something called fascism that in turn was part of a more general phenomenon called totalitarianism. In that article I said that this interpretation of fascism was due to the fact that we Americans, English, French, and others had fought against fascism and that during the war, we had created and used the image of the war against fascism in order to mobilize public opinion, to generate propaganda against our enemies.
