The 43 Group : battling with Mosley's Blackshirts

Beckman, Morris2013
Books
Oswald Mosley decided he could carry on where Hitler and Mussolini had left off. On street corners his fascist speakers would proclaim 'not enough Jews were burned at Belsen'. Enter the 43 Group. In a ferocious, bloody and brilliantly covert five-year campaign, they destroyed the Mosleyites. The membership of the Group was almost entirely made up of British servicemen, the original 43 members quickly swelling to more than 300 and including a Battle of Britain ace, a VC winner - and even Vidal Sasson! This book is a timely reminder of how fascism gathers strength, and of one novel way of stopping it.
