Britain is celebrated for having avoided the extremism, political violence and instability that blighted many European countries between the two world wars. But her success was a closer thing than has been realized. Disillusionment with parliamentary democracy, outbreaks of fascist violence and fears of communist subversion in industry and the Empire ran through the entire period. Fascist organizations may have failed to attract the support they achieved elsewhere but fascist ideas were adopted from top to bottom of society and by men and women in all parts of the country. This book will demonstrate for the first time the true spread and depth of fascist beliefs - and the extent to which they were distinctly British. Rich in anecdotes and extraordinary characters, Hurrah for the Blackshirts! shows us an inter-war Britain on the high-road to fascism but never quite arriving at its destination.

Sir Oswald Mosley came upon the political scene like a meteor. A hero of World War One, he was the youngest MP elected to the British Parliament at age 22. When the Labour Government refused to tackle the problem of unemployment he resigned from office. On 1st Oct, 1932 he founded the British Union of Fascists. Fascism was the new creed which constituted a Third Position, rejecting both the greed of capitalism and the class warfare of socialism. Oswald Mosley created the ideology of the "thought-deed political soldier." Many people were thoroughly indoctrinated in his new doctrine of placing the good of the entire community above that of the privileged cliques. He sought to elevate society for the betterment of all and not the enrichment of the few. Sir Oswald Mosley attracted supporters from all walks of life. Here are the true, remarkable stories of some of the men and women who sacrificed their social status to follow Mosley, regardless of what fate might lie in store for them. They were believers in the man and his mission. His philosophy of leadership by the elite and not the mob is more important today than ever before. As Mosley said: "The Spirit Lives The Rest Will Follow."
