About This Book

A translated and edited collection of the author's political speeches from the World War I era through the early postwar years, accompanied by an introductory essay that situates the movement within historical precedents and argues that it arose as a reaction to parliamentary weakness and leftist radicalism. The speeches trace a shift from earlier positions toward militant nationalism, emphasize anti-communist measures and the need for strong organized authority, appeal to veterans and workers, address relations with religious institutions and the monarchy, and describe the use of extra-parliamentary tactics and rhetorical strategies that helped consolidate the movement's ascent.
