Political Conversions: Going Fascist
David Klemperer, a political historian of 20th-century Europe, guides a close look at figures who switched from socialism to fascism. He traces Oswald Mosley’s path from wartime formation to Labour, policy ambitions, the New Party’s drift, and the turn toward violence, antisemitism, and imitation of continental fascists. Comparative cases and why few socialists made this leap are also explored.
