Some are or were best-sellers – including Len Deighton’s \u003ci\u003eSS-GB\u003c\/i\u003e. The novels share certain themes: a central character is radicalised towards fascism and that decision shapes the protagonist’s life for the worse. Alternatively, in a mirror version of the same pattern, a protagonist becomes an anti-fascist and seeks to improve the world around them. Renton explains the real-life history that these novels reflect and the committed anti-fascist politics with which they engage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers of antifascism, and social, cultural, and political history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56672947929432,"sku":"9781041269168","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041269168_86d425f1-e129-4791-8a9c-f0242026c71e.jpg?v=1771444834","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/anti-fascist-novel-in-britain-1923-2023","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
