Oswald Mosley was the first post-War figure to propose the political union of Europe.
It was also firmly base.
Mosley\'s concept involved a common policy for defence, foreign affairs and economic policy that left all other issues to regional governments to decide in accord with local custom and tradition.
As far back as 1947 he had advocated \'Europe a Nation\' and by the publication of this book in 1958 the first tentative steps had been made towards a European Economic Community (EEC).
