Many have long assumed that democracy is our Western birthright. Today that heritage is being challenged by a resurgence of right-wing agitation and violence in both the United States and Europe. While historians increasingly look to the rise of Fascism in Germany and Italy during the 1930s as a way to understand the perils of today’s world, England has largely been overlooked. Much of this is due to secrecy, to evidence that has been classified and re-classified by successive British governments, deemed too explosive in its direct threat to British democracy.  In Hitler's Girl, Dr. Lauren Young presents a new history of 1930s Britain that serves as both a challenge and a warning. A thrilling and unforgettable work, Hitler's Girl re-evaluates the history of 1930s England so that we may understand the vulnerabilities of the forces that uphold democracy and our fragile world, while also putting forth urgent questions.
