The War for Legitimacy in Politics and Culture 1936-1946 presents
the first investigation of how the phenomenon of political
legitimacy operated within Europe's political cultures during the
period of the Second World War. Amidst the upheavals of that
turbulent period in Europe's twentieth-century history, a wide
variety of contenders for power emerged, each of which claimed to
possess the right to rule.Exploring political discourse, state
propaganda, and high and low culture, the book argues that
legitimacy lay not with rulers, and still less in the barrel of a
gun, but in the values behind differing approaches to "good"
government. An important contribution to the study of the political
culture of European history from the 1930s to the 1950s, this
volume will be essential reading for both political scientists and
twentieth-century historians.
