Duration: 60 minutes
The unbelievable forgotten history of exiled fascists resettled in Australia after World War II, Jayne Persian’s fascinating book explores the impact of these characters on the trajectory of postwar politics – a phenomenon well documented in other parts of the world but with which Australia has barely begun to reckon.
