Since the postwar period a truthful and transparent approach to National Socialist ideology has always remained elusive. The most common approach is to pass off National Socialism as a movement without ideological substance, which merely reacted to events, took advantage of political upheavals and, in some mysterious way, hypnotised the masses with the hysterical rhapsody of anti-Semitism. Thus National Socialism has been stereotyped as a creed as baseless as it was incoherent. This book seeks to shed light on the principles and philosophy of National Socialism, and what it meant to the millions of Europeans who gave their lives to its ideals and creed. Contrary to popular opinion, Hitler's and the National Socialist 'Worldview' was not based on 'anti-Semitism' - the Jewish question was at best a minor irritant to the Third Reich - it had nothing to do with 'mysticism' or the 'occult', and it certainly did not promote the idea that the people of Germany were a 'Master Race'. The National Socialist Worldview was based on far deeper and timeless principles which existed long before the creation of the Third Reich, and which will remain long after mankind has ceased to exist. Seventy years of lies and simplifications must be left behind in order to understand the principles that underpinned National Socialist ideology. This book is an invitation to those adventurous and nonconformist spirits who dare to examine pages censured by official historiography. Uncovering the ideological foundations of National Socialism, with a free spirit and an open mind, will be an enlightening and rewarding adventure.

The story of the Blackshirt Movement in Great Britain has been well documented. What has never been adequately recorded before is the highly developed system of ranks, uniforms, insignia, badges, distinction awards and banners that were used to promote the fighting spirit and organisational efficiency of the Movement. This comprehensive study, based on 30 years research, has saved this aspect of modern history before it was lost forever - and will remain the definitive work on this fascinating subject.

Action Replay

'Action Replay' is the remarkable life-story of Jeffrey Hamm. From being a nominal member of the pre-War British Union of Fascists, events soon propelled him forward to become Oswald Mosley's leading exponent in the post-War world - and the subject of at least five fat MI5 files. Admired by many and hated by some, Hamm was the first to call for Mosley to return to active politics after the War. This started him on a one-way political journey that made him the target of regular physical attack - but earned him the respect of both fellow travellers and sworn enemies alike. Hamm may well have remained a non-active member of the Mosley Movement and spent his life as an unknown secondary school teacher. But in 1940 a fellow Blackshirt falsely denounced him, and the Head of MI5 himself began the man-hunt that detained Jeffrey Hamm in the far-off Falkland Isles. No reason was given for his imprisonment without charge or trial and he was transferred to an internment camp in South Africa - with only 200 German Nazis for company! After an unsuccessful attempt to escape by tunnel, Jeffrey Hamm was freed and on his return immediately joined the Royal Tank Corps where his conduct was recorded as exemplary. But MI5 hadn't finished with him yet and ordered his immediate dismissal. Hamm was outraged by his treatment and vowed vengeance against the Government he had come to hate. His pre-War allegiance to Mosley was rekindled - and his course as a swashbuckling political firebrand and constant thorn in the side of successive British governments was set. An excellent read that tells the story of Mosley's 'Union Movement' from the inside.

Civilization as Divine Superman: A Superorganic Philosophy of History

Regarded as the leading philosopher of British Fascism, Raven Thomson was greatly influenced by Oswald Spengler’s cyclic theory of history, However, in Civilization As Divine Superman, Thomson rejects Spengler’s pessimism on the future of the West, and suggests that culture-man has the option of willing an ongoing path of greatness, rather than succumbing to decay and death. Thomson believed this could be achieved by developing a social organism, where each fulfils a function as part of a totality. When former Labour party eminence Sir Oswald Mosley founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932 to address such problems, Thomson saw in Mosley’s version of Fascism a means of attaining such an organic society. As a street corner orator and a philosopher, Raven Thomson was that rare breed that Oswald Mosley described as the “though-deed man”. Interned in England during World War II, he was one of the first to resume association with Mosley after the war, and was a leading member of Mosley’s Union Movement, advocating the new post-war doctrine of “European Socialism”. With this re-publication of Civilization As Divine Superman at a time when we have more reasons to accept Spengler’s fatality of a globalised society, Raven Thomson offers us our last hope to avoid catastrophe.

Fascism: 100 Questions Asked and Answered

After World War Two, fascist became the F word of political debate to be applied liberally against anyone who left-wing polemicists disliked. But what did it really mean and what did its British supporters really stand for? In this pre-War book written in convenient Question and Answer form by Oswald Mosley, the Leader of the British Union of Fascists explains Fascism. It acknowledges that if he had been elected to power political party warfare would have been brought to an end. Instead of voting for different party labels General Elections would be based on an occupational franchise. Under this system everybody would vote according to their vocation: miners voting for a choice of mining candidates; farm workers for agricultural candidates; health workers for doctors and nurses; and textile workers for textile worker candidates. There would even have been occupational candidates for housewives and pensioners. In this way, Mosley believed that a government of experts elected by experts would be created: a body far better equipped to provide good government than one based on a multi-party geographical franchise. Other questions and answers covered by Mosley in equal depth include freedom of speech; reform of the banking system; and the roles of trade unions in the modern workplace. Fascism may have lost the war of semantics but its true nature deserves closer scrutiny.

Germany Speaks: By 21 Leading Members of Party and State

In 1938, a year before the outbreak of the Second World War, the German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop launched a campaign in Britain in order to reach not only a better understanding between the two nations, but to stress Germany's desire for peace. The highpoint of this campaign was the publication of the book "Germany Speaks," which consisted of 21 essays by leading members of the Third Reich, explaining in detail not only the social and economic achievements in Germany since Hitler had come to power, but to underline the rationale of National Socialism and its policies. Among the contributors are Otto Dietrich, Fritz Todt, Robert Ley, R. Walther Darré, Wilhelm Frick, Ritter Von Epp, and many others. 
The first part deals with the major political issues: the state structure, population growth, race, the Jews, the judicial system, women's rights, the educational system, and the role of propaganda. Part Two explains the Third Reich's economic system, its achievements, and its social, labour, and welfare policies. Part Three details the organisation of day-to-day life in the Third Reich: sport, entertainment, art, culture, and a detailed analysis of the German motoring industry and Hitler's autobahn construction program. Part Four details Germany's foreign policy, and includes an analysis of the hostility towards Germany from the world economic system, the injustices of the Versailles Treaty, and the lies and distortions of the USA and British "democratic" Press, and finally, a plea for the attainment of a lasting peace between Germany and Britain.

Mosley's Blackshirts: The Inside Story of the British Union of Fascists 1932-1940

Sir Oswald Mosley came upon the political scene like a meteor. A hero of World War One, he was the youngest MP elected to the British Parliament at age 22. When the Labour Government refused to tackle the problem of unemployment he resigned from office. On 1st Oct, 1932 he founded the British Union of Fascists. Fascism was the new creed which constituted a Third Position, rejecting both the greed of capitalism and the class warfare of socialism. Oswald Mosley created the ideology of the "thought-deed political soldier" Many people were thoroughly indoctrinated in his new doctrine of placing the good of the entire community above that of the privileged cliques. He sought to elevate society for the betterment of all and not the enrichment of the few. Sir Oswald Mosley attracted supporters from all walks of life. Here are the true, remarkable stories of some of the men and women who sacrificed their social status to follow Mosley, regardless of what fate might lie in store for them. They were believers in the man and his mission. His philosophy of leadership by the elite and not the mob is more important today than ever before. As Mosley said: "The Spirit Lives The Rest Will Follow".

Spring Comes Again

Jorian Jenks was leading member of the British Union of Fascists, a pioneer of radical ecology and organic farming, and a founder of the Soil Association and Editor of its journal "Mother Earth" and is regarded by many as one of the principle architects of the Green Movement in Britain. As a keen and active supporter of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirt organisation, he wrote many articles for the movement's newspapers and journals.
In "Spring Comes Again" Jorian Jenks highlights the problems created by liberalism and the "free market" economy arguing that in reality it can only lead to exploitation and repression - a system devised to ensure that a minority are free to prey on the weaker members of society. Other topics include Marxism and the Class War, the Bureaucratic State, the Disintegration of Socialism, the Spirit of Fascism, the Corporate State, and Unity, Equity, Security - the watchwords of the Fascist Revolution.
During World War Two, for opposing another war with Germany, he was imprisoned by the British government without charge or trial spending some time in the infamous torture centre at Latchmere House in Surrey.

The Alternative

The publication of The Alternative not only marked the inauguration of Union Movement, Oswald Mosley's post-War political party, but the launch of his master concept of 'Europe a Nation' that remained the enduring theme of the rest of his life. Mosley's vision of a United Europe stretching from the Urals to the Atlantic, had little in common with the present European Union, essentially, Mosley wanted Europe to speak with one voice on what mattered - defence, foreign affairs and economic policy - whilst leaving all other matters to national governments. In this way, the cultural integrity of Europe would be maintained whilst allowing the new Europe to become the pre-eminent world order. 
In The Alternative Mosley warns of the "barbarians of the Modern Age" named - Mob and Money, both of which meant the destruction of European values and civilisation. Mosley also discusses his ideas for the development of science, and art, and the calls for the emergence of a new type of political leader: the Thought-Deed Man, or Soldier Poet, who could both think and act. 
He concludes the book with his greatest contribution to philosophy in which he interprets the meaning of life expressed in his Doctrine of Higher Forms. Oswald Mosley considered The Alternative to be the magnum opus of his writings. It was also his message to posterity, and one that provides a philosophical basis for future generations of Europeans.
