Anti-fascism has long been one of the most active and dynamic areas
of radical protest and direct action. Yet it is an area of struggle
and popular resistance that remains largely unexplored by
historians, sociologists and political scientists. Fully revised
and updated from its earlier edition, this book continues to
provide the definitive account of anti-fascism in Britain from its
roots in the 1930s opposition to Oswald Mosley and the British
Union of Fascists, to the street demonstrations and online
campaigns of the twenty-first century. The author draws on an
impressive range of sources including official government, police
and security services records, the writings and recollections of
activists themselves, and the publications and propaganda of
anti-fascist groups and their opponents. The book traces the
ideological, tactical and organisational evolution of anti-fascist
groups and explores their often complicated relationships with the
mainstream and radical left, as well as assessing their
effectiveness in combating the extreme right.
