Love, Hate, and the Leader is a captivating memoir that delves into the author's upbringing in a Fascist family during post-war Britain. Trevor Grundy and his family held Fascist leader Oswald Mosley in high regard, viewing antisemitism as a fundamental belief. Grundy's father was a fierce Fascist brawler, his mother was deeply devoted to Mosley, and Grundy himself had a dream that Mosley was his father, leading him to become the youngest member of the Fascist Union Movement to deliver a speech at Trafalgar Square. However, a revelation after his mother's passing shattered his illusions: his mother was Jewish.

The book includes additional material from its original 1998 edition, providing further insights into the Fascist figures that shaped Grundy's childhood and his life after leaving the Fascist movement. This captivating memoir will captivate readers with its exploration of British Fascism, far-right history, and personal memoirs. It offers a unique perspective on a tumultuous period in British history and sheds light on the complexities of family relationships and identity.
