When, in May 1940, Leo Amery was appointed by Winston Churchill as Secretary of State for India, an already difficult assignment had been made more challenging by the demands of war. This thesis evaluates the extent to which Amery’s ultimate failure to move India towards self-government was due to factors beyond his control, or derived from his personal shortcomings and errors of judgment. Although there has to be some analysis of politics in wartime India, the study is primarily of Amery’s attempts at managing an increasingly insurgent dependency, entirely from his metropolitan base.

Uitgever: Balans, Uitgeverij. Samenvatting Londen, eind jaren dertig. Tijdens de onheilspellende stilte voor de Blitz vindt hier een van de belangrijkste spionageoperaties van de Tweede Wereldoorlog plaats, die evenwel nauwelijks bekendheid kreeg. Tyler Kent is een hoffelijke, jonge Amerikaanse coderingsexpert. Hij is ook een dwangmatige vrouwenjager - en een sovjetspion. Na zijn stationering in Londen komt hij al snel in aanvaring met de man die de inspiratiebron zou worden voor 'M' van James Bond: Maxwell Knight, een exentrieke Brit, net aangesteld om de ultrageheime nieuwe contraspionageactiviteiten van MI5 te gaan leiden. Via zijn werk voor de Amerikaanse ambassade ontdekt Kent dat president Roosevelt gecodeerde telegrammen uitwisselt met Winston Churchill. Met de bedoeling Roosevelt ten val te brengen geeft hij kopieen van die telegrammen aan een groep nazispionnen die wordt geleid door zijn vriendin, Anna Wolkoff, een elegante Russische emigrante, die als couturier de stijlvolste vrouwen van Londen kleedt. Op dat moment besluit Knight te infiltreren in het glamorous groepje samenzweerders, die regelmatig bijeenkomt in een chic restaurant in South Kensington, The Russian Tearooms. Tegen de achtergrond van oefeningen voor luchtaanvallen, verduisterde straten en speculaties over de dreigende Duitse aanval op Groot-Brittannie ontrafelt Willetts het duistere kat-en-muisspel dat volgt.

By Kenna Toombs NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI AUGUST 2013 The Appeal of Fascism 2 Running Head: THE APPEAL OF FASCISM TO THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY DURING THE INTER-WAR YEARS, 1919-1939 The Appeal of Fascism to the British Aristocracy During the Inter-War Years, 1919-1939 Kenna Toombs Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Date Dean of Graduate School Date The Appeal of Fascism 3 Abstract This thesis examines the reasons the British aristocracy became interested in fascism during the years between the First and Second World Wars. As a group the aristocracy faced a set of circumstances unique to their class. These circumstances created the fear of another devastating war, loss of Empire, and the spread of Bolshevism. The conclusion was determined by researching numerous books and articles. When events required sacrifice to save king and country, the aristocracy forfeited privilege and wealth to save England.

  • Racial Fascism in Britain Steven Woodbridge
    Racial Fascism in Britain Steven Woodbridge In June,1945, within just a few months of the discovery of the scale and horrors of the German Nazi extermination camps, and shortly after the conclusion of military hostilities in Europe, the British fascist ideologue and racist activist Arnold Spencer Leese (1878-1956) announced to readers of his new monthly news-sheet Gothic Ripples that he had written a book entitled The Jewish War of Survival.1 A month later, Leese revealed to his supporters that he believed that ‘the finest civilisation that Europe ever had has been wiped out of existence by the Allies in a Jewish war’.2 During the course of the rest of the year, as Britain and other countries across Europe tried to recover from all the destruction and chaos caused by five long years of conflict against Nazi Germany, Leese went on to further develop his highly inflammatory views by criticising the war as the product of the ‘Revenge Instinct’ of the Jews.3 He also labelled the evidence presented at the Nuremberg War Crimes trial as ‘Belsen Bunkum’, and dismissed the Nuremberg hearings generally as ‘purely a Jewish and Masonic’ affair, ‘only explicable by the Jewish control of “Democracy” and Bolshevism’.4 It was very clear to veteran anti-fascists and to Jewish groups in Britain, and also to officials in both the British Government’s Home Office and the domestic Security Service (MI5), that Leese, despite being interned in prison under the 18B Defence Regulations during the war as a possible security risk, had not lost his extreme enthusiasm for fascism and, above all, for the anti-Semitic and racial ideas that had 1 characterised the Nazi version of the doctrine.

  • CHAPTER 2 the VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security
    CHAPTER 2 THE VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security CHAPTER 2 8 THE VITAL FUNCTION World War II and Diplomatic Security The experiences of the World War II era (1933-1945) expanded and solidified diplomatic security as a vital function of the Department of State. From the first days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, the Department faced grave threats to U.S. diplomacy, primarily from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. As a result, the Department broadened its definition of security and expanded the number of entities monitoring and enforcing security. The Department’s new, expanded security apparatus under President Roosevelt, however, was disjointed. Security responsibilities were dispersed across multiple offices with overlapping jurisdictions. Moreover, the Office of the Chief Special Agent, which had handled security since World War I, often was not involved in many of the new security measures. By the end of World War II, the Department was implementing security in a more extensive, formalized manner that touched and altered every level of the Department’s operations. In fact, many security measures first implemented during World War II—such as coded ID badges, formal document classification procedures, and a courier network—are today accepted as part of the Department’s normal, daily routine. Moscow and Berlin When Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the Presidency in March 1933, the Department of State faced diplomatic security threats from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Throughout the 1930s, the regimes of both nations respectively targeted the U.S. Embassies in Berlin and Moscow for espionage. Security problems at the U.S.

A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

  • {PDF EPUB} from Suffragette to Fascist the Many Lives of Mary Sophia Allen by Nina Boyd Mary Sophia Allen: Suffragette to Fascist
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} From Suffragette to Fascist The Many Lives of Mary Sophia Allen by Nina Boyd Mary Sophia Allen: Suffragette to fascist. Mary Sophia Allen, one of the first British policewomen, was an extraordinary and outrageous woman. Born in 1878, she grew up in Bristol where she rebelled against the strictures of middle class life and, at the age of thirty, left home to become a suffragette. Mary was jailed three times for smashing windows, went on hunger-strike, and was forcibly fed in Holloway Gaol. The outbreak of the First World War, and the suspension for the duration of the war of suffragist hostilities, left her casting around for a suitable occupation for an independent-minded woman with a penchant for leadership. She was particularly keen to wear a uniform, and was attracted to the new Women Police Service. She soon became its leader, and contributed a great deal to women’s policing in Germany, Ireland, and at home, and supplied hundreds of trained women to police munitions factories. Her work was rewarded with an OBE. However, the authorities found that Mary wanted more power and influence than they were prepared to give. For many years she fought for her position against the Metropolitan Police, a fight she lost, although she continued to travel the world in her uniform, and was generally accepted abroad as the chief British policewoman, much to the dismay of the police and government authorities at home. Mary had a lifelong obsession with uniforms and masculine authority. She was strongly drawn to dictatorial men, and was proud to have met Hitler and Mussolini.

    THE WOMEN’S PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN (1917-19): A FORGOTTEN EPISODE IN BRITISH WOMEN’S POLITICAL HISTORY Article accepted for publication in June 2016 Issue of Women’s History Review, a Special Issue edited by Barbara Bush, University of Sheffield and June Purvis, University of Portsmouth, titled Connecting Women’s Histories: the local and the global, published by Routledge Abstract This article discusses the Women’s Party, founded by Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst in November 1917 at a time when Britain was still fighting in World War One. It examines the origins and aims of the Women’s Party which, with the slogan ‘Victory, National Security and Progress’, conflated the winning of the war with the women’s cause. It is contended that global politics on the world stage as well as local politics at home shaped the agenda of the Women’s Party in many differing ways.
