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
democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the
complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism. Hitler’s
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
tradition—and 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, Hitler’s
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 succeed—and 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 values—or
will we succumb to political extremism?
Journeys of a Thirsty Soul is a thought provoking inquiry into what
it means to be human and how we are being offered a unique
opportunity to express our humanity and divinity. The book examines
the limitations we have unknowingly accepted and provides insights
into how we can expand our awareness and embrace the subtler
energies about us. This process allows us to completely shift our
perspective and to make crucial changes that will impact those
around us and the planet as a whole. The journey captured in these
pages reveals the seeds of transformation we all possess, the
dynamics of blossoming on an individual level, and our collective
potential to create an evolutionary shift.
