About
"Hitler's Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism almost took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details how sympathy for the Nazi cause pervaded the British aristocracy, with significant factions of the upper class actively and methodically pursuing a pro-German agenda. She discloses how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on their complacency and complicity to shake England's proud and long-standing democratic tradition." -- front flap.
