Review Quotes
Adam Price, former Plaid Cymru MP, adviser to Leanne Wood
An impressive volume that buries forever one of the most destructive political lies in Welsh political discourse.
Professor Robert Evans, Regius Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Oxford
This is a deft, incisive, and admirably terse dissection of Welsh political culture in the twentieth century, important not only for exploding the persistent myth that the young Welsh Nationalist party sympathised with Fascism in the interwar period, but for explaining how such a baseless accusation could ever have been made and sustained for so long.
