We Fight Fascists

Brilliant, compelling and very timely. This is the sort of history we should all know about, especially in these troubled times, but were never taught at school. - Keith Lowe, author of The Fear and the Freedom Inspiring... the fundamental questions it raises have yet to disappear from our political landscape. - Daniel Trilling, Guardian A new, comprehensive history of the group. - The Economist Sonabend's debut brilliantly chronicles the 43 Group's lightning-fast progress from a homespun organization with a handful of Jewish ex-servicemen...to a surprisingly sophisticated one with up to 2,000 members and intelligence and surveillance branches. - Haaretz The 43 Group's extraordinary resilience and bravery deserve to be far more widely appreciated. - Morning Star Daniel Sonabend brilliantly captures...a tale of often bloody, and occasionally terrifying organized chaos. - Times of Israel Sonabend combines academic rigour with an easy, readable style, all of which helps to throw into sharp relief the difficult questions the story raises. - New Statesman Sonabend delights in these madcap tales of the 43 Group's violent confrontations with their fascist opponents and the ways the members managed to elude the (sometimes-fascist-sympathizing) police. - Mari Cohen, Jewish Currents A timely book...Sonabend deserves credit for resurrecting this story - Literary Review This important book is not simply a trip down memory lane, but a warning from history. It should be mandatory for those who do not see themselves as bystanders. - Jewish Chronicle Thrilling...full of unforgettable characters, clandestine activities, deception, surveillance and more than a few full-blooded street brawls...A must read for all antifascists - Hope Not Hate Not for the politically faint-hearted, have a milk shake handy whilst reading. - Counterfire Sonabend rescues the '43 Group' from...obscurity...a victory - Chartist
