Patriotism perverted
de Richard Griffiths · Publicada por primera vez en 1998
"This book is a study of British anti-Semitism in the last six months of peace, and the first year of the Second World War. It shows how, against the backdrop of an endemic British 'social anti-Semitism', a virulent form of this tendency was able to emerge in the late Thirties, above all in a variety of extremist movements. These movements gained their strength from the popular obsession, in 1939, with Jewish responsibility for the approaching war (seen as 'The War of the Jews' Revenge'), and with the myth of the Judaeo-Bolshevik Plot. Inevitably, these views were closely related, in many cases, with pro-Nazism. At the end of his last book, Fellow Travellers of the Right, which dealt with pro-Nazism in the mid-Thirties, the author hazarded the view that, after Hitler's march into Prague in March 1939, this tendency almost died out. The present book is the proof that that generalisation was mistaken."--BOOK JACKET.
