British Fascism: Essays on the Radical Right in Inter-War Britain
The continuing interest in the history, ideas, structure and development of fascism in Britain in the twentieth century appears to show little sign of diminishing. This collection of essays, first published in 1980, deals in some depth with new evidence and interpretations of the phenomenon of British fascism and provides a reassessment of some of the major issues that have caused controversy, examines the diverse nature of British fascism and su…
The Historiography and Source Materials in the Study of Internal Security in Modern Britain (1885–1956)
The passing of the Freedom of Information Act, and the decision to declassify selected historical documents from the MI5 archive in 1997, has significantly increased the documentary evidence for historians about the evolution and operation of the Security Service during the first half of the twentieth century. Although the MI6 archive remains closed, and Special Branch have released little material, historical briefings and the declassification o…
The Radical Right in Britain: Social Imperialism to the BNP
This recent volume from the British History in Perspective series provides a significant addition to the study of the far right in recent British history. It fills an important gap in the literature, providing a historical overview of the evolution of what Alan Sykes defines as the adical right Although there are continuing semantic difficulties in using this term, common sense suggests that this is still one of the best concepts for discussing h…
Responses to Nazism in Britain, 1933–1939: Before War and Holocaust
Responses to Nazism in Britain, 1933–1939: Before War and Holocaust. By DAN STONE (Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2003: pp. 269. £50). THIS interesting, thoughtful and well written book has two major themes. It deals with both the contemporary British literary and cultural interpretations of Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939, and in more detail, the views of the far right intelligentsia during the same period, which is Dan Stone's main intere…

The Evolution of the Mythical British Fifth Column, 1939-46
The recent declassification of sanitized files relating to national security during the Second World War has provided important material relating to the influence of the security service (MI5), its relationship to other departments of state, and on political surveillance in Britain. The Second World War and the ‘fifth column’ scare of spring 1940 led to the enhancement of its role after internal reorganization, following the near collapse of MI5 …

The Guardian of the 'Sacred Flame: The Failed Political Resurrection of Sir Oswald Mosley after 1945
The message of encouragement, in difficult times, with which Mosley raised the morale of embattled members of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1938, is still remembered as a clarion call by the 'Friends of OM', the last flickering ember of the sacred flame. At no time was it more needed by the faithful than in 1945, but the full story behind Mosley's return to politics, and the extent to which he remained within a fascist perspective, has s…

It reassesses Mosley's career, describes the reasons for internment in 1940 and the effect it had on leading fascists, exposes the famous Britons who subscribed to fascism, reveals the ominous re-emergence of the tradition after 1945, and explains its remarkable persistence into the l980s

Anti‐Nazi antisemite: The case of Douglas Reed
Douglas Reed, the author of Insanity Fair, was well known in the 1930s for his accurate warnings about Hitler's intentions and for his opposition to appeasement. But he was also an antisemite whose beliefs differed little from Hitler's in their ultimate implications
