Searching for Lord Haw-Haw is an authoritative account of the
political lives of William Joyce. He became notorious as a fascist,
an anti-Semite and then as a Second World War traitor when,
assuming the persona of Lord Haw-Haw, he acted as a radio
propagandist for the Nazis. It is an endlessly compelling story of
simmering hope, intense frustration, renewed anticipation and
ultimately catastrophic failure. This fully-referenced work is the
first attempt to place Joyce at the centre of the turbulent,
traumatic and influential events through which he lived. It
challenges existing biographies, which have reflected not only
Joyce's frequent calculated deceptions but also the suspect claims
advanced by his family, friends and apologists. By exploring his
rampant, increasingly influential narcissism it also offers a
pioneering analysis of Joyce's personality and exposes its
dangerous, destructive consequences. "What a saga my life would
make!" Joyce wrote from prison just before his execution. Few would
disagree with him.
