Bottomley addressed huge crowds urging them to wage a way of extermination against ordinary Germans. The first chairman of the \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e, the inspiration for Toad in \u003ci\u003eThe Wind in the Willows\u003c\/i\u003e, Bottomley was also a major figure in post-1918 politics, urging Conservative voters to dump their leaders and try something new. This carefully researched biography, the first new life of Bottomley for 50 years, shows how he began on the centre-left of Edwardian politics and then moved to the margins, becoming a leading figure on the Edwardian far right, and pre-empting the non-fascist far right of our own days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars and students with interests in political history, fascism and the far right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Renton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103230653X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032306537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"David Renton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087505076479,"sku":"9781032306537","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fd64e39-b0b7-419f-b48a-c55c1c6e9f8d.jpg?v=1769100444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horatio-bottomley-and-the-far-david-renton-9781032306537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
