This book is the first comprehensive academic study of German right-wing terrorism since the early 1960s available in the English language. Based on the most detailed dataset of right-wing terrorism in Germany, this book offers highly valuable insights into this specific form of political violence and terrorism, which has been widely neglected in international terrorism research.
This book collects significant published works from renowned scholar Kathleen Blee's work on racist activism.
John Beckett was a rising political star. Elected as Labour's youngest M.P. in 1924, he was constantly in the news and tipped for greatness. But ten years later he was propaganda chief for Mosley's fascists, and one of Britain's three best known anti-Semites. Yet his mother, whom he loved, was a Jew. Her ancestors were Solomons, Isaacs and Jacobsons, originally from Prussia. He successfully hid his Jewish ancestry all his life - he said his mother's family were "fisher folk from the east coast." His son, the author of this book, acclaimed political biographer and journalist Francis Beckett, did not discover the truth until John Beckett had been dead for years. He left Mosley and founded the National Socialist League with William Joyce, later Lord Haw Haw, and spent the war years in prison, considered a danger to the war effort. For the rest of his life, and all of Francis Beckett's childhood, John Beckett and his family were closely watched by the security services. Their devious machinations, traced in records only recently released, damaged chiefly his young family. This is a fascinating and brutally honest account of a troubled man in turbulent times.
The Paris riots of February 1934 marked a pivotal moment in interwar France, nearly toppling the democratic regime as fascist rioters clashed with citizens. This event catalyzed a deep political polarization, leading to a surge in membership for extreme right-wing paramilitary leagues and the left-wing Popular Front coalition. The ensuing conflict, often referred to as a 'French civil war,' set the stage for a decade of turmoil, culminating in the Liberation of France in 1944. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of this critical historical moment.
Fully revised and updated from its earlier edition, this book continues to provide the definitive account of anti-fascism in Britain.
