Matthew White, in The Great Big Book of Horrible Things gives a simple summary of fascism;
quote: Unlike traditional conservatism, which defended the ruling class of nobility, church, and capitalists against the radical populism of the poor, fascism was itself radical populism in favor of conservative ideals. Like the Communists, fascists rallied the masses with promises of full employment, consumer gratification, and national unity of purpose, but were very un-Communist in their support of the homeland, God, and the natural order of things.

Inspired by this thread I started reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I'm only about 200 pages in but I'm really impressed with the thorough job Shirer did in writing it. It's really interesting to see all the points in history were Hitler and/or the Nazi party. The one that really got to me was that Hitler might have been born with the surname Schicklgruber. Both Shirer and Hitler recognized that that alone might have hindered his political career.
