Biography
Ishay Landa is Senior Lecturer of History at the Israeli Open University.
"I don’t believe I exaggerate when I say this is the most significant work on the subject since Lukács’ The Destruction of Reason or Trotsky’s great, prophetic writings of the 1930s. (...) Landa’s account contains a strong, uplifting and profound humanity as he reminds us that ‘the last humans’ also represent our last best hope."
- Tony McKenna, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
"Fascism and the Masses is an immensely rich and rewarding text, drawing from an unbelievably wide array of material."
- Guy Lancaster, Capital & Class
