Arthur Kenneth Chesterton, cousin of G.K. Chesterton, grew up in
South Africa where he developed his "colonial outsider" view of
England and of the First World War. By the age of 21, Chesterton
was an archetypal "angry young man" - ex-colonial, ex-officer with
literary interests and accomplishments. As an increasingly
disillusioned literary critic and newspaper editor, he created a
world based on his reading of English literature - an idealized
version of British society. The result was a cultural despair which
sealed his acceptance of fascism in 1933. In this biography, David
Baker examines the socio-psychological profile of A.K. Chesterton
to help explain the nature of fascism. The author questions
previous academic interpretations, suggesting that a definition of
fascist ideology must be broadened to take account of its fatal
attraction to those who might have remained self-assured members of
a democratic society.
