New Non Fiction

John Harte's own undercover work as an investigative journalist has been focused on two extremist political regimes, the rise of Soviet Communism with the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise of the Nazis in Germany in the 1920s. After World War Two, Harte discovered a plot by a Fascist organization to take control of Britain. In 1948 he traveled across the British Isles to compile a dossier of provincial Fascist organizations in several major cities-each one a splinter group under a different name, which Sir Oswald Mosley, a British friend of Hitler, planned to merge when he was ready to launch a political comeback. Harte's dossier was presented in Parliament while he simultaneously gave a scoop to the Sunday Pictorial, and Picture Post by taking their photographers to a secret meeting where Mosley briefed his regional gauleiters. The revelation of the scandal in the House of Commons and the news media resulted in the end of Mosley's political career. For more: www.johnhartebooks.com Book jacket.
