Fascist Scotland
£8.96
On 10 May 1941 Rudolf Hess Deputy Fuhrer of the Third Reich entered Scottish airspace in an ill-fated attempt to discuss peace with the Duke of Hamilton. For the Nazis Hess was the victim of 'tragic hallucinations'. But how far had Hess really flown from reality? Although Fascism in Britain is normally associated with England & especially the East End of London & even then dismissed as a marginal political phenomenon Fascism did find support in Scottish society. Scotland has provided its own cohort of idealists fanatics & traitors for extreme racist nationalist & authoritarian politics. From Dumfries to Alness one of the main ideologies of the first half of the twentieth century found its standard-bearers. But when Fascism crossed the Cheviots it found itself in a restless part of a multi-nation state riven by sectarian hatreds. Rudolf Hess felt the natives looked at him 'in a compassionate way' but Scottish Fascism had to carve out a niche in a crowded market for bigotry. In this book Gavin Bowd relates a fascinating & little-known part of our history which reveals some uncomfortable truths which are bound to stimulate debate even now. ...
