Cr�ticas:

‘An important contribution to history.’

Roy Hattersley, New Statesman

‘Dorril takes us Into the dark alleys of the shady aristocrats, disillusioned generals, renegade politicians, sadistic thugs and lost romantics [of] British fascism.’

The Observer

`Easy-paced and entertaining, judicious — and damning. He works his way carefully through all the claims made for Mosley and shows how far each one is hollow, misconceived or false.’

London Review of Books

‘Deeply researched, scholarly, important . . . magnificently fleshes out a politician whose sense of personal destiny outstripped his sense of human decency.’

Scotland on Sunday

‘The authority of this book rests on thorough research.’

Sunday Telegraph

‘An exhaustively researched and provocative study.’

Sunday Times

‘Blackshirt is an unrelenting indictment . . . it is a book that rightly ensures that there can be no soft-focussed rehabilitation.’

The Observer
