{"product_id":"9780571310456","title":"Patriotism Perverted: Captain Ramsay, the Right Club, and British Anti-Semitism, 1939-1940","description":"\u003cb\u003ePatriotism Perverted\u003c\/b\u003e is an exploration of British anti-Semitism  in the last six months of peace and the first year of the Second World  War. It shows how, against the backdrop of an endemic British 'social  anti-Semitism', a virulent form of this tendency was able to emerge in  the late Thirties in a variety of extremist movements. These movements  gained their strength from the popular obsessions, in 1939, with Jewish  responsibility for the approaching war (seen as 'The War of the Jews'  Revenge'), and with the myth of the Judaeo-Bolshevik Plot. In many  cases, these views were closely related with pro-Nazism and were often  held by the most patriotic of people. For most, the outbreak of war was a  signal to perform their patriotic duty. But there were others who found  themselves in a considerable dilemma, torn between patriotism and their  desire to subvert a war they believed Britain to have been tricked into  undertaking. Researching many prominent figures of the day, including  Captain Ramsay and Sir Oswald Mosley, \u003cb\u003ePatriotism Perverted \u003c\/b\u003eoffers a fascinating insight into the views and activities of those in the various anti-Semitic and\/or pro-Nazi circles in 1939.","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106540634352,"sku":"9780571310456","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571310456_p0.jpg?v=1763719855","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571310456","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
