This book by Enzo Traverso explores the age of extremes and its imagery of horror through the concept of 'European civil war'. It analyzes the symbiosis between culture, politics, and violence that shaped the mentalities and practices of the time, reviewing historiographical controversies about fascism, communism, and the Resistance. The author seeks to restore a historical perspective against the anachronism of projecting liberal democratic categories in a context of civil war, understanding democracy as a historical product linked to that era.
