 Brownshirts in Blazers? The Rise of UKIP
UKIP has its origins in the Anti-Federalist League, which was formed in 1991 by Alan Sked, a London School of Economics professor and ardent Thatcherite, to campaign against the European Community (as it then was) and the Maastricht Treaty in particular.
Sked, who left the party in 1997, in part because he believed it was being taken over by "extremists", has recalled an argument with Farage over the inclusion of a statement on the party’s membership form opposing discrimination against minorities.
While no official agreement was reached, Sked observes that BNP leader Nick Griffin has spoken on the BBC of "an informal pact between his party and elements of the UKIP leadership".

 Countrybookshop.co.uk - Decline and Fall of the Habsburg Empire, 1815-1918, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The key to the book's success has been the author's determination to analyse the course of Habsburg history and to take issue not merely with its leading historians, but with the very concept of "decline and fall" itself.In this second edition, the author reflects on the arguments originally raised and bolsters his original interpretation.
The result is vintage Sked: clear and controversial, a vigorously written classic which is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of nineteenth-century Europe.
