This is a newly revised edition of Nicholas M. Nagy-Talavera’s classic work published in 1970. It is the standard work in English on the history of fascism in Romania and Hungary.

The Green Shirts and the Others is the first comprehensive and comparative work in English on the history of the fascist movements in these two countries. The author presents an objective account of their history from 1918 to 1945 and the role of fascist movements during these years. He considers the rise of these movements, the Arrow Cross in Hungary and the Legion of the Archangel Michael in Romania. He considers their evolution and growth during the interwar period, as well as during the tragic periods in which each movement came to power in its respective country. The author then draws conclusions and parallels from the comparative history of the two movements.
