Colin Jordan and Britain's Neo-Nazi Movement: Hitler's Echo
Colin Jordan and Britain's Neo-Nazi Movement casts fresh light on one of post-war Britain's most notorious fascists, using him to examine the contemporary history of the extreme right. The book explores the wide range of neo-Nazi groups that Colin Jordan led, contributed to and inspired throughout his time as Britain's foremost promoter of Nazi ideology.
In a period stretching from the close of the Second World War right up to the 2000s, Colin Jordan became politically engaged with a multitude of Nazi-inspired extremist groups, either as leader or as a key protagonist. Moreover, Jordan also developed critical relationships with larger, competitor extreme-right organisations and parties, including the Mosley's Union Movement, the National Front and the most recent incarnation of the British National Party. He fostered a number of transnational links throughout his years of activism as well, especially with American neo-Nazis. In recent years, his writings and somewhat idealised profile have been adopted by more contemporary extremist organisations, such as the British People's Party and a rekindled British Movement, who look to Jordan as an inspirational figure for their own reconfigurations of a National Socialist agenda.
By examining this history, drawing on a wide range of fresh primary sources, Colin Jordan and Britain's Neo-Nazi Movement offers a new analysis on the nature and workings of Nazi-inspired political extremism in post-war Britain. It is an important study for anyone interested in the history of fascism, extreme ideologies and the political and social history of Britain since the Second World War.

Praise for this book
By far the greatest strength of Dr Jackson's study of Colin Jordan is its fresh and utterly up-to-date scholarship which draws upon a truly impressive range of research materials, from newspapers and related print-media to unpublished archival resources. Merely as a feat of scholarship, the book represents a mature, highly professional achievement. But just as impressive is the strength of Dr Jackson's accessible writing.

Paul Jackson's political biography of Colin Jordan - a man described as the 'godfather' of British neo-Nazism - is superlative. Possessing a sophisticated conceptual understanding of neo-Nazism, Jackson recounts the political odyssey of this unapologetic British fascist in rich and painstaking detail. Colin Jordan has now entered the neo-Nazi pantheon. Jackson's first-rate study tell us why this man is so revered by those that think that "Hitler was Right!+?

Paul Jackson has written a fine book which greatly adds to our understanding of the complex phenomenon of neo-Nazism and the wider ideology and culture of Britain's far right in the post-1945 period. Jackson's study benefits from having been thoroughly grounded in the available primary documents relating to Colin Jordan's life and political activities, as well as the best and most recent theoretical work in fascist studies. In summary, this book represents a very important contribution to the scholarship on the politics of the extreme right.
