"Philip Coupland's dedicated and impressive detective work illuminates the controversial life of Jorian Jenks, in that complex area of twentieth-century culture where politics merged with organic farming and economics with religion. This biography is a most valuable contribution to the history of environmentalism in Britain."
Dr. Philip Conford, School of Historical Studies, University of Leicester.
"Coupland’s book is both scholarly and fascinating. With a wealth of new archival material, we now at last have an in-depth study of a man central both to pre-war Fascist agricultural policies and to the post-war ecological movement."
Richard Griffiths, Emeritus Professor, King’s College London and author of Fellow Travellers of the Right and Patriotism Perverted.
"A fascinating book, uncovering hidden histories of British fascism and the British Ecology movement."
Matthew Worley, Professor of Modern History, University of Reading.

"Philip Coupland has unearthed a vast amount of information and his engrossing biography is the first in-depth study of Jenks."
Richard Griffiths, Patterns of Prejudice
"His comprehensive and insightful work is far more important than a mere biography of a right-wing eccentric, particularly in shedding light on the problematic relationship between ecological and fascist movements."
Steve Andrew, The Morning Star
"Green Fascism in the future. British Fascism in its present form may be dying
•ut, but the coming crises brought about by climate change, mass migration
and competition over resources will have great potential to disrupt existing
political and social structures. The re-emergence of Fascism will also depend on
whether the nation survives as a motivating force in an increasingly globalised
world."
