Hurrah for the Blackshirts!: Fascists and Fascism in Britain Between the Wars
" 'This scholarly book shows how widespread fascism was before and in tandem with Mosley's New Party, the British Union of Fascists, half the Conservative Party and many royals.' - Philip Howard, The Times. 'Pugh is one of the most well-respected, diligent and honest scholars working in British history today. This book deserves to be read.' - Gerard DeGroot, Scotland on Sunday. 'The link between a distinct wing of Conservatism and the Italian form of fascism is substantiated in this outstandingly revelatory book.' - Edward Pearce, Glasgow Herald. 'Fascism did not just come from the East-End toughs. It also came from women, the countryside and from parts of the Industrial North. Pugh explores these various strands with a keen eye for detail and a lively sense of the absurd.' - Richard Vinen, Independent"
