A unique insight into an unknown aspect of Scotland's past, this book reveals the fascinating and uncomfortable truths about the country's foray into Fascism during the interwar period. The account contends that Fascism found support in Scottish society, having provided its own cohort of idealists, fanatics, and traitors for extreme racist, nationalist, and authoritarian politics. From Dumfries to Alness, one of the main ideologies of the first half of the 20th century found its standard-bearers, but when Fascism crossed the Cheviots, it found itself in a restless part of a multination state, riven by sectarian hatreds. This little-known part of history is bound to stimulate debate.
