Nigel Copsey has led the way in opening up the field of British anti-fascism studies, defining the empirical and conceptual parameters for the elucidation of protest and resistance to extremism over the course of the twentieth century. This lucidly written and meticulously researched second edition of his ground breaking study is very welcome and timely. - Dr Julie V. Gottlieb, University of Sheffield, UK

Anti-Fascism in Britain is an important book, widening our understanding of a subject that remains pertinent today. - Matthew Worley, Professor of Modern History, University of Reading, UK
