Hitler’s Girl

The British Aristocracy and the Third Reich on the Eve of WWII

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Lauren Young analyses the alarming degree to which elements of the British aristocracy not only sympathized with European fascists but were actively preparing for a totalitarian regime at home. From Unity Mitford’s affair with Adolf Hitler to the machinations of the Cliveden Set and the Right Club, whose members included the Duke of Wellington, she argues that democracy in Britain was hanging from a thinner thread than generally acknowledged. Slightly off-mint.
