Mosley was a fascinating man, the wannabe fascist dictator of Nineteen Thirties England. Many folk have been caught up in the charisma of his character and the dressing-up thrill of his uniformed movement and conveniently forgotten that this dashing chap was also a vile, violent, unprincipled, exploitative racist. This fascinating, exhaustively-researched book goes a great way to redressing the balance whilst still remaining even-handed. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Hated and adored, trusted and feared, respected and scorned--public opinion has never been indifferent to Sir Oswald Mosley. A brilliant politician, Mosley turned his back on conventional party politics to found, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. Over the intervening years until now, many have worked hard to guard Mosley's reputation, but Blackshirt casts new light on the man. The author reveals the true nature of Mosley's relationship with the Nazis, and challenges the prevailing view of Mosley's descent into anti-Semitism. With groundbreaking research and extensive use of archive material, Dorril uncovers a bizarre set of characters and behind-the-scenes friends and colleagues who supported Mosley--the crooks, swindlers, political and royal figures, secret agents, Nazi spies, lovers, and "crackpots." Blackshirt is an important and controversial new biography that overturns many of the accepted ideas about Oswald Mosley and British Fascism. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
