'HURRAH FOR THE BLACKSHIRTS!': FASCISTS AND FASCISM IN BRITAIN BETWEEN THE WARS

by MARTIN PUGH

Description

"This book demonstrates for the first time the true spread and depth of fascist beliefs - and the extent to which they were distinctly British. Like the Continental movements, fascism in Britain encompassed the corporate state, charismatic leadership and youthful rejection of the decadent rule of the older generation. But was it less anti-Semitic? Was it readier to adopt a feminist agenda? And was the fact that Britain finally repudiated fascism more a matter of timing and chance than of fundamental obstacles in British society and politics?"--Jacket.
