Lord Haw Haw William Joyce

Searching for Lord Haw-Haw is an authoritative account of the political lives of William Joyce. He became notorious as a fascist, an anti-Semite and then as a Second World War traitor when, assuming the persona of Lord Haw-Haw, he acted as a radio propagandist for the Nazis. It is an endlessly compelling story of simmering hope, intense frustration, renewed anticipation and ultimately catastrophic failure. This fully-referenced work is the first attempt to place Joyce at the centre of the turbulent, traumatic and influential events through which he lived. It challenges existing biographies, which have reflected not only Joyce’s frequent calculated deceptions but also the suspect claims advanced by his family, friends and apologists. By exploring his rampant, increasingly influential narcissism it also offers a pioneering analysis of Joyce’s personality and exposes its dangerous, destructive consequences. "What a saga my life would make!" Joyce wrote from prison just before his execution. Few would disagree with him.

Follows the life of William Joyce, a British citizen who moved to Nazi Germany, broadcast fascist propaganda at England, and was sentenced to death for treason after the war

Story of William Joyce, the man who broadcast to England for the Nazis during the war and whose American citizenship was one of the chief legal problems at his trial for treason.

This astonishing book, first published in English in Berlin in 1940, provides a penetrating analysis of British society before World War II, compares it to the achievements of National Socialist Germany--and is a remarkable insight into the thinking of one of the most famous radio propaganda broadcasters in history. Written by the Irish American William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") during his first year as a propaganda broadcaster for the German radio service during World War II, Twilight over England starts with a short historical background to British history, before moving on to discuss in detail the economic, social, and political status of Britain prior to the outbreak of war in 1939. In particular, he outlines in detail how the ordinary British peoples' interests were subjected to the dictates of a ruling elite, who sought only power and money regardless of the consequences for society at large. An active member of the British Union of Fascists, and, after 1937, leader of his own British National Socialist League, Joyce was unhesitatingly anti-Jewish, and pulls no punches in this book in identifying their role in controlling the business, economic, media, and political structure of Britain. In a chapter devoted especially to the Jewish lobby in Britain, Joyce provides a detailed analysis of how Jewish influence at the very centers of power aided not only the Zionist colonization of Palestine, but also the outbreak of war in 1939. The author then moves on to point out that hypocritical British foreign policy--which pretended to be opposed to "dictatorships" while propping up and supporting those autocracies which were enemies of Nazi Germany, amongst many other things--was the actual cause of the outbreak of the war. "That the British democracy has no objection to dictatorship is shown by its adulation of the black Dictator, Haile Selassie, its admiration for Dollfuss, who ruled by sheer military force, its undying, if ineffectual love for Benesh, Beck, and Ridz-Smygly, and its untiring but unsuccessful wooing of Stalin." Finally, Joyce provides his own opinion of Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, and the early stages of the war, saying, "If Adolf Hitler would accept the system of international finance and the Jews associated with it, there would be peace in ten minutes after his acceptance had been announced. However, even if Hitler were prepared, as he never could be, to surrender his economic policy, he could not. For the great philosophical gap which I have indicated would render its resurgence a mere matter of months. We have come, after these laborious centuries of groping, to the greatest turning point in world history." This new edition has been completely reset, contains a biography of its author and 163 supplementary footnotes to allow the modern reader to understand all the references in the text to events and personalities of the time. It is also fully indexed. About the author: William Joyce (1906-1946) was an American-born Irish national who, after a career in the British Union of Fascists and in the British National Socialist League, moved to Germany before the outbreak of the Second World War and was employed as a radio propaganda broadcaster for the duration of that conflict. He achieved fame under the nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" even though that phrase was initially given to one of his colleagues, and by the end of the war, had as many listeners in Britain as did the BBC. Arrested after the war, he was tried in Britain for treason--although he had never legally been a British national--and executed.

This is a biography of William Joyce, also known as 'Lord Haw Haw'. It looks closely at his life from his teenage dalliance with fascism in the 1920s right up until his execution in 1946.

William Joyce had much in common with the founder of the Third Reich. His nationality was other than that of the country he gave his life for. loathing England's class system Joyce's struggle was for the hearts and minds of the working class. Marxist street thugs who scarred him were the class system's defenders. England's greatest orator was anything but the pugilist that palace writers claim him to be. Joyce's academic achievements were never bettered.During the 1930s the former British Union of Fascists kingpin diligently studied the entrails of Jewish power and subversion. Joyce unearthed the roots of English aristocracy debauchery. The Irish-American's academia was complemented by observation of England's economic system purpose designed to institutionalise poverty. Upon surrendering himself, William Joyce was controversially murdered by England's vengeful elite. When the hangman's trapdoor opened the honour of England and its corrupt legal system plunged into the abyss.
