Qu'est-ce que le fascisme ? Cette question ne cesse de se poser aux historiens avec la même force qu'elle le faisait aux contemporains de Mussolini. Fut-il un mouvement réactionnaire, conservateur ou révolutionnaire ? Se situait-il à gauche ou à droite ? Autre question cruciale : quelle place y occupa le Duce, et peut-on réduire le fascisme à un simple "mussolinisme" ? Le présent ouvrage apporte des réponses à ces questions tout en jetant sur le fascisme un regard nouveau et rare chez les historiens français.

Volume Four opens as the British abandoned Boston in March 1776. They moved their troops to Long Island and their fleet to New York Harbor. Washington, anticipating such a strategy, came out to face the Redcoats in Brooklyn, but was driven back to the city. More British troops arrived, forcing Washington to withdraw north. As the winter of 1777 approached with Redcoats occupying Philadelphia, Washington restricted the British army's supply line. But almost nobody believed the British could be defeated and few believed Washington's army could survive.

Volume Five begins on an optimistic note. The French recognition of the United States on February 6, 1778, along with the promise of military assistance, renewed Washington’s confidence in eventual success. But before that day arrived in 1781, three years of hardship, privation, and suspense would intervene. Throughout this ordeal George Washington’s towering presence was the catalyst that kept everything together.
