Abstract
In 1938 Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of Britain’s most famous fascist grouping, the British Union of Fascists (BUF), wrote a short book, Tomorrow We Live. He concluded:
In divine purpose the spirit of man rises above and beyond the welter of chaos and materialism to the conquest of a civilisation that shall be the sum and the glory of the travail of the ages. In that high fate tomorrow we live.
(Mosley, 1938, p. 72)
