Collection: The British Union of Fascists: Newspapers and Secret Files, 1933-1951 Volumes Action, 1931-1940
Action was a weekly newspaper published by the BUF during the period 1936-1940. The paper adopted a tabloid style of journalism—foregrounding popular culture, for instance—with the aim of maintaining links with fascist fellow travellers and recruiting new members. The front page of the last available issue (no. 222, June 6 1940), which was published just after Mosley's internment, states: "We regret to announce that further detentions during the past week have deprived us of the services of more valued assistance in the production of Action."
This volume contains a full run: Nos. 1-222. It also contains the original Action newspaper, set up by Oswald Mosley's 'New Party' five years prior. This publication is featured in the first document and should be seen as a direct precursor to the main content of this volume.
