Description
We Marched with Mosley: The Authorised History of the British Union of Fascists This is the official history of the British Union of Fascists, as written by one of its most prominent members. Richard Reynell Bellamy joined the movement soon after its founding and provides a unique insider's perspective on its development and activities. The book covers the early support given by Lord Rothermere, the 'Press Barron', and the reasons behind his eventual withdrawal of support. It also delves into the real story of the 'Battle of Cable Street', the attempt on Mosley's life, and the experiences of British Union volunteers during World War Two. Bellamy's account is based on his own experiences as National Inspector and his involvement in the movement's activities. He also recounts the imprisonment of himself and nearly 1,000 other British Union members under Defence Regulation 18B in 1940. This book provides a fascinating and detailed look at a significant period in British history, and is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the British Union of Fascists and its members. Published in 2019, this book offers a unique and authoritative perspective on a period of significant political and social change in Britain.
