Patrick G. Zander

Modernism, Empire and War, 1919-1940

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a new assessment of the ideology and political program of Britain's fascist and extreme right-wing community during the interwar period (19191940). It examines this group's belief system as it clustered around three major preoccupations Modernization, Empire, and War and in so doing, identifies many inconsistencies, contradictions, and moral failings.
