Description: The collection consists of documents and correspondence assembled by Professor A.W. Brian Simpson (1931-2011) during the writing of his book In the Highest Degree Odious: Detention Without Trial in Wartime Britain (Clarendon Press, 1992). Most of the British citizens detained were members of Fascist or extreme right-wing groups, who were generally opposed to the war with Germany. As the most prominent Fascist group active in Britain at the time, Sir Oswald Mosley's movement British Union (whose full title was "British Union of Fascists and National Socialists"), which had campaigned vigorously against the war up to and beyond its outbreak, was particularly affected by the measure, with many leading members arrested and interned. Both Mosley and his wife, Lady Mosley (Diana Mosley) were imprisoned. In addition there is an appendix on the spy Tyler Kent, an American citizen who worked at the U.S. Embassy in London. Kent stole highly sensitive documents relating to communications between Churchill and Roosevelt. Names include Action, Guy A. Aldred, John Amery, J.
