Summary: |
This is the first full-length study of the organization that incubated Britain's most provocative and successful fascist movement. Exploring Sir Oswald Mosley's secession from Labour, his evolving politics and his eventual embrace of fascism, this book examines the process by which he transformed from Labour politician to fascist. 'Worley's book, which is the first detailed study of the New Party, is to be welcomed. It is important to show the danger that frustation with democratic systems can so easily lead to authoritarianism and militarism.' - Duncan Bowie, Chartist: For Democratic Socialism. |
