Sir Oswald Mosley (1896-1980) was one of the most remarkable political figures of this century. In the 1920s he was first a Conservative then a Labour mp; George V attended his wedding. In the 1930s he forsook the friendship of Churchill and Lloyd George to found the British Union of Fascists: Hitler attended his second wedding reception. From then until his death last month he was worshipped by a few but hated by many. He endured imprisonment and then voluntary exile.
This assessment by Colin Cross, author of The Fascists in Britain, includes an interview with Mosley recorded not long before his death and private archive discs never before broadcast. Narrator Gavin CAMPBELL Producer HUGH PURCELL
