Anti-fascism in Britain Book

Anti-Fascism in Britain is a comprehensive study in which the author approaches his subject in broad terms and offers a wealth of information and interpretation. In this book, the history of British anti-fascism is thoroughly explored from its early beginnings in the 1920s through to the present day. There are two chapters on the pre-1945 period in which dramatic episodes such as the 'Battle of Cable Street' are covered whilst in a further three chapters, opposition to postwar fascism is subject to close investigation. Within this historical survey, the range of anti-fascist opposition, its organisation, its tactics and strategies all form major issues for consideration. The author also examines the contribution that anti-fascism has made to the political weakness of British fascism. What emerges is an absorbing exploration of a little studied area of British political history which will be of interest to the specialist and general reader alike.Read More
