Some are or were best‑sellers – including Len Deighton’s \u003cem\u003eSS‑GB\u003c\/em\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\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers of antifascism and social, cultural, and political history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754206019825,"sku":"9781041269168","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781041269168_p0.jpg?v=1779380397","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781041269168","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
