GILMAN, Richard -- Behind World Revolution, The Strange Career of Nesta Webster
1982 book
by Richard Gilman entitled: "Behind
World Revolution: The Strange Career of Nesta H. Webster" (111 pages).
Nesta
Helen Webster (neé Bevan; 24 August 1876 - 16 May 1960) was a British
conspiracy theorist whose publications informed many right-wing conspiracy
arguments in the UK and in the United States (including being recommended and
sold by the John Birch Society).
Webster
focused upon the Bavarian Illuminati, Freemasonry, and conspiracy theories
involving Jews. She wrote about secret societies which plotted world domination
by using various common conspiracy theories as smokescreens. According to her,
international subversion included the French Revolution, the 1848 Revolution,
the First World War, and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
In 1920,
Nesta Webster was one of the contributing authors who wrote a series of
articles in London's The Morning Post, centered on the Protocols
of the Elders of Zion. These articles were subsequently compiled and
published in the same year, in book form under the title of the The
Cause of World Unrest.
Webster
was involved in several British fascist organizations including the British
Fascists, The Link, and the British Union of Fascists. She was also the leading
writer of the UK magazine entitled The Patriot.
Webster
speech "The Need for Fascism in Britain", [London,
British Fascists, Pamphlet No. 17, 1926]For
more than a decade, I have attempted to find some UK historian or UK library
that actually had a physical copy of Nesta’s 1926 pamphlet entitled “The
Need For Fascism in Great Britain” published by the British
Fascists.
In
2020, I finally found it in the personal papers of A.V. Alexander which are
archived at the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, England.
The
front of the pamphlet contains this description: “This Pamphlet
is based on an address given
by Mrs. Nesta
Webster at Kensington Town Hall on Dec 17th., 1926.”
