I feel like this book is important for understanding the history of fascist lies and how integral they are to the philosophy. That being said, the book is really dense and a bit boring. The chapters feel like a bunch of disparate ideas stitched together rather than a cohesive thesis.

tbh, my brain didn't absorb most of this, but it wasn't boring, and I feel just slightly but not insignificantly more informed about what fascism means exactly and why it's associated with dictatorships and the tactics that fascist dictators use to gain and maintain power.

The lucid and accessible discussion of the connection between fascism and lying made by Argentine historian Federico Finchelstein. International in scope and spanning the twentieth century’s infamous fascist leaders and their followers—Argentina’s Lugones, Spain’s Franco, Italy’s Mussolini, Germany’s Hitler, among others—along with the populist and fascist-leaning Argentine Peron and the 21st century’s own populist super-liar, Trump.

Un interesante ensayo que pretende explicar la matriz del nacionalismo argentino devenido en populismo como adaptando al Fascismo pero no adoptandolo plenamente. Muy buena bibliografía y trabajo de citas. Sería bueno explorar el viaje de esos hijos de la aristocracia devenida a menos, que ante la pérdida de su lugar comienzan como anarquistas o socialistas y terminan en un nacionalismo aristocrizante.
