Review

'Copsey's updated book on the BNP is essential reading for political scientists and extremism-watchers who want to gain deeper insight into the evolution of the extreme right in Britain. It also presents a meticulous case study in the way the irresistible forces of virulent racism and fascism that dominated crisis-stricken inter-war Europe are prepared to cynically domesticate and 'democratize' themselves to survive in a contemporary world of globalization, multiculturalism, and mindless consumerism in their pursuit of the chimera of national rebirth.' - Roger Griffin, Professor of Modern History, Oxford Brookes University, UK

Book Description

A thoroughly revised and updated history of the British National Party and its quest for legitimacy.

Archie B. Manvell

Good introduction.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2013

Verified Purchase

This work gives a reasonable overview of the origins and policies of the BNPup to 2004; it rightly regards the BNP as a revolutionary nationalist party and therefore fascist by the author's definition. It is interesting to conoisseurs of the far right but is let down by a stolid prose style that at times becomes ungrammatical and therefore hard work-not impressive for a University professor in a literate discipline.

pleasantly surprised.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2010

The book that I ordered was delivered rathere sharpish, which surprised me and is in very good condition considering that it is not new. I would certainly use Amazon again to buy my books from.

Accessible but Glib

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2010

Not sure how many brief histories of the BNP there are in print - if few, then there is some utility in this volume, which is rather more lucid than a couple of the reviews. I would NOT call it "insightful" though, given that it seems to have been written for an audience of terribly earnest goldfish or well-spoken types who live with a cordon sanitaire between themselves and those whom they glibly summarise according to criteria of which the Economist would surely approve.

Ali Akgoz

the forward

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2009

This is a very controversial book in terms of its context and the intent to which there seems to be a deep nationalistic passion and a strong feeling of patriotism. The issues which have been taken into account relative to the context has to be primarily immigration and the issue of asylum seekers. The psychology of immigration and asylum seekers over the british public has to be a deep feeling of nationalist patriotic one. Thus the psychology of being an asylum seeker 'illeagle' in legitamate ocupation over a land, property, anything else which is identified with britishness and any european matter must be an issue taken considerable amount in trying to get the logic and the sense of rights taken these into action. I think with new elements of artistic and material creation and invention we can think about the prospect for future development of how citizenship should be rectified hence be given a legitimate stance over asylum seekers basically taking over british society thus british jobs and british marketability gradually in time.
I think asylum seekers should be taken into context when mentioned seriously enough to become a top debate in british society. The overall seriousness and considering the idea of what it could be like to think about the gradual taking over a society through mass immigration must be enhanced and judged objectively.

M. Bosman

Inciteful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2006

This is as far as I know the only book on the market that seriously deals with the rise of the British National Party. This book examines the variety of extreme nationalism that has existed in Britain post-war. In dealing with this subject the author also touches on unusual topics such as distributism as well as commenting on the impact on mainstream politics by these politic parties use of issues such as asylum seekers. This book is unlikely to be read by many people because of the price if nothing else. However anyone serious about modern politics cannot afford to be without a copy.
