For decades, otherwise highly respected figures in Welsh life have repeatedly claimed that Welsh nationalists sympathised with Fascism during the dark days of the 1930s and the Second World War. In this path-breaking book, Wales's leading political commentator assesses the truth of these charges. In addition to shedding new light on the attitudes of Plaid Cymru and its leadership during the period in question, this book offers an insightful and challenging interpretation of the nature Welsh political culture.
'An impressive volume that buries forever one of the most destructive political lies in Welsh political discourse.' - Adam Price, former Plaid Cymru MP, adviser to Leanne Wood '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.' - Professor Robert Evans, Regius Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Oxford
