Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. Hitler's Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism almost took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details how sympathy for the Nazi cause pervaded the British aristocracy, with significan factions of the upper class actively and methodically pursuing a pro-German agenda. She discloses how these aristocrats formed a murky fifth column to Nazi Germany, which depended on their complacency and complicity to shake England's proud, long-standing democratic tradition. Historians look at the rise of Fascism on the Continent during the 1930s as a guide to understanding the perils of today's world. Yet the insidious story of Fascist sentiment in England before the Second World War has been largely overlooked, with most of the historical evidence classified by successive British governments as too explosive. Highlighting the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations such as the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking relationship between the socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler. Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler's Girl reevaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities: the Russian oligarchy and the invasion of Ukraine, Brexit, and the election of Donald Trump. These threats to our postwar democratic traditions mirror aspects of England's own prewar clandestine reality and raise disturbing questions: At what point does complacency become complicity, posing a real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Is a cataclysmic event like World War II needed to reassess and ensure democracy's survival? THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracyusing the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of todays turn toward authoritarianism.Hitlers Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic traditionand very nearly succeeded.As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler.Eye-opening and instructive, Hitlers Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted Will democracy again succeedand will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic valuesor will we succumb to political extremism This alternative history of 1930s Britain examines how fascist sympathizers in the aristocracy nearly helped authoritarianism take hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany, through secret organizations like the Right Club.
