Many historians have explored the atrocities, military and political collaborationism of European and Asian fascists and extreme nationalists with the Axis powers. Author Nevin Gussack compliments the efforts of these historians by focusing on the collectivist and socialist tendencies of the European and Asian collaborationists. Communist parties and leftwing forces even cooperated with the pro-Axis forces in Europe and Asia during varying periods of time. Anyone who lambasts the collaborators as "conservatives" and "right-wingers" need to read this book.
