Twilight over England
Paperback
Publication Date: 17/08/2017
This astonishing book, first published in English in Berlin in 1940, provides a penetrating analysis of British society before World War II, compares it to the achievements of National Socialist Germany-and is a remarkable insight into the thinking of one of the most famous radio propaganda broadcasters in history. Written by the Irish American William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") during his first year as a propaganda broadcaster for the German radio service during World War II, Twilight over England starts with a short historical background to British history, before moving on to discuss in detail the economic, social, and political status of Britain prior to the outbreak of war in 1939. In particular, he outlines in detail how the ordinary British peoples' interests were subjected to the dictates of a ruling elite, who sought only power and money regardless of the consequences for society at large. An active member of the British Union of Fascists, and, after 1937, leader of his own British National Socialist League, Joyce was unhesitatingly anti-Jewish, and pulls no punches in this book in identifying their role in controlling the business, economic, media, and political structure of Britain. The author then moves on to point out that hypocritical British foreign policy-which pretended to be opposed to "dictatorships" while propping up and supporting those autocracies which were enemies of Nazi Germany, amongst many other things-was the actual cause of the outbreak of the war. This new edition has been completely reset, contains a biography of its author and 163 supplementary footnotes to allow the modern reader to understand all the references in the text to events and personalities of the time. It is also fully indexed.
