Description
Summary:Bela discusses the source of right radicalism, including fascism in Central Europe after the First World War, and the intricate relations between conservatives and right radicals. With special emphasis to the former, she examines the political life of Istvan Zadravecz, a Franciscan priest, close friend, and ally of the paramilitary leaders in the early 1920s and Army Bishop between 1920 and 1927. Moreover, she emphasizes Zadravecz's remarks about the relation between the authoritarian conservatives and the radical right in general, and the sources of tension and hostility between two groups in particular.
