Love, Hate and the Leader is a memoir of growing up in a fascist family in post-war Britain.
For Trevor Grundy and his family, fascist leader Oswald Mosley was a God and antisemitism was a creed. His father was a fascist brawler, his mother obsessed with Mosley and Grundy himself dreamed Mosley was his father and grew up to be the youngest member of the fascist Union Movement to speak at Trafalgar Square. But, after her death, Grundy learnt that his mother was Jewish. The book features additional material from its original 1998 edition with more detail on fascist figures in Grundy's childhood as well as his life after leaving the fascist movement.
This book will appeal to those interested in British Fascism, far-right history and family memoirs.
