The Red Book - The Membership List of The Right Club - 1939 - English

Introduction

For the first time in its history, Archibald Maule Ramsay’s notorious ‘Red Book’ is published in its entirety. The membership list reflects anti-Semitism and extreme right-wing views at the inner core of the inter-war British Establishment. Prominent members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords are listed alongside influential members of the armed forces and known pro-Nazi activists of the period.

Robin Saikia provides an overview of the Red Book’s historical background and extensive biographical notes on the Right Club membership. Associated organisations such as the Imperial Fascist League, the British Union of Fascists and the Nordic League are listed and explained. The seizure of the Red Book by the British authorities during the Tyler Kent espionage affair is fully covered. There is an objective assessment of The Right Club’s lasting influence in right wing circles to this day, perpetuated by Archibald Maule Ramsay’s ideological successors.

This book contains facsimilies of pages in the Red Book, reproductions of interleaved documents and a full transcript of the membership list.
