In 2002, H.L. Wesseling wrote that The Appeal of Fascism "is indeed an extensive but rather disappointing study because it is in fact more of an inventory of fascist writers than an analysis of their work or of the problem of writers and fascism."[1]
However, in A Companion to Europe, 1900-1945, Gordon Martel said that The Appeal of Fascism is, "despite its age, the most satisfactory overview of fascism's attraction for intellectuals."[2]
