The Ability To Organize Millions Of People For Political Purposes Is A Potent And Relatively Recent Weapon In The Struggle For Power. Political Scientists Have Studied Two Types Of Mass Organization, The Political Party And The Interest Group. In This Book Gregory Kasza Examines A Third Type, Which He Calls The Administered Mass Organization. Amos Are Mass Civilian Bodies Created By Authoritarian Regimes To Implement Public Policy. Officials Use Them To Organize Youths, Workers, Women, Or Members Of Other Social Sectors Into Bodies Resembling The Mass Conscript Army. A Network Of Amos Produces A Conscription Society, A Major Force In Twentiethcentury Politics In Over 45 Countries.Using Comparative History And Organization Theory, Kasza Analyzes The Politics Of The Conscription Society In Both Military And Singleparty Regimes. He Discusses The Origins Of Amos In Japan, The Soviet Union, And Fascist Italy And Their Subsequent Spread To China, Egypt, Nazi Germany, Peru, Poland, And Yugoslavia. He Focuses On The Use Of Amos To Curb Political Opposition, To Mobilize For War, And To Shift Control Over The Means Of Production. Kasza Shows How, In The Hands Of Despotic Rulers, Amos Have Contributed To The Extremes Of Political Barbarism Characteristic Of The Twentieth Century.
