Summary: Here Is a Treasury of Information On Sir Oswald Mosley.
Review: Here is a book that will please anyone looking for an extraordinary biography. I would also advise you to buy this book before it goes out of print. Nearly anything ever written about Mosley eventually gets sold out because there is usually a lot more interest in him than publishers forecast. Many Americans know that Mosley was the most prominent British fascist leader prior to the Second World War, but few know that prior to that he was the member of parliament who was given the task of constructing an economic plan capable of getting Britain out of the Great Depression. Although many leading socialists of the day supported his ideas, including his personal friend in America, Franklin Roosevelt, the British government was not bold enough to act, adopting the attitude of just muddling through. That's why Mosley started up his fascist movement. The death of Mosley's first wife contributed to his determination to implement his ideas, and the private correspondence published in this book explains why for the first time. After World War 2, Mosley's view was that the nationalisms of Europe were obsolete, and that the European economic cooperation of the EEC was the first wave of a better future. He also forecasted that within the United States the European population would find a similar reorganizing just as necessary.
