Ridley, NormanHITLER'S BRITISH NAZIS: The Hidden Story of the Fascist Movement in the UK Traces the evolution of extreme right-wing opinion from the turn of the century right through to the end of WWII. In particular, it looks at the way British fascism developed its own character due to Britain having been on the winning side during WWI. Analyzes early fascist movements of the 1920s, including the fascist tendencies of the Suffragette Movement. Then traces the way in which domestic politics and the dire economic situation of the early 1930s created a political vacuum that was filled by Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirt Movement. Discusses how the British press covered Nazi Germany and how powerful press barons, many of whom were pro-German and supported Chamberlain's appeasement policies, were able to influence public opinion. The role of the Mitford sisters is explored in detail, as is the influence of the Cliveden Set under the leadership of the Astors and the role played by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson as they flirted unashamedly with fascism and threatened to take Britain down a very different path. Contains 16 mono illustrations.1 vol, 208 pgs 2024 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS NEW-dj, available early May 2024 ......$43.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our WWII
