Description for Responses to Nazism in Britain, 1933-1939: Before War and Holocaust
paperback. Num Pages: 284 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HBJD; HBJD1; HBL; HBWQ; JPA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
This book examines the large and previously-neglected body of literature on Nazism that was produced in the years 1933-1939. Shifting attention away from high politics or appeasement, it reveals that a remarkably wide range of responses was available to the reading public. From sophisticated philosophical analyzes of Nazism to pro-Nazi apologies, the book shows how Nazism informed debates over culture and politics in Britain, and how before the war and the Holocaust made Nazism anathema it was often discussed in ways that seem surprising today.

Reviews for Responses to Nazism in Britain, 1933-1939: Before War and Holocaust
'The responses to Nazism in Britain before 1939 were many and varied. The Right, as Nicolson said in July 1939, found it easier, in the interests of cerebral comfort, 'to regard Nazi Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism than to confront her as a menace to our Empire and our independence' (189).
