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.” A copy may be seen here: https://archive.org/details/webster-nesta-the-need-for-fascism-in-great-britain-1926-12ppWebster dismissed the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany as exaggeration and propaganda.See my separate uploads for academic articles on Nesta Webster and her biographical sketch appearing in the Oxford Dictionary of National BiographyHER PUBLICATIONSThe Chevalier De Boufflers: A Romance of the French Revolution, London, John Murray, 1910.
