The Swastika and the Maple Leaf: Fascist movements in Canada in the thirties - Betcherman, Lita-Rose

Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner's name on ffep; light wear to edges of dust jacket; otherwise minimal wear; This book deals not only with Arcand, Canadian fascism's major figure, but also with the establishment of Swastika Clubs in Ontario, the fights in Toronto's Christie Pits, and the fascist movements of the west. Anti-semitism was a fundamental feature of all these fascist parties who urged the expulsion of Jews from Canada. Mysteriously financed, never fully unified, the Canadian fascists flourished right up to the beginning of WWII; they were finally suppressed not out of moral repugnance, but because Germany had become the enemy.
