audiobook Theism and Public Policy: Humanist Perspectives and Responses (The Humanities Research Centre) by From Palgrave Macmillan in History

Description

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.
