Hitler's British Nazis : the hidden story of the fascist movement in the UK
Ridley, Norman (Writer on the Battle of Britain)2024
Books
Following the end of the First World War, many countries experienced economic decline. Unemployment, high inflation, low wages and poor working conditions led to widespread unrest. This manifested itself in the rise of powerful militaristic leaders, first in Italy where fascism was born, and then in Germany and elsewhere. The policies of the likes of Mussolini and Hitler were hugely popular, and fascism was seen by many as a viable political alternative to democracy. To some degree, these ideals also gained traction in the UK where some individuals in and among the elite of British society believed fascism was the way forward for the country. This is fully explored in 'Hitler's British Nazis' which traces the evolution of extreme right-wing opinion from the turn of the century right through to the end of the Second World War.
