Joseph Pearce Biography

Joseph Pearce is one of the most popular and richest English writer who was born on February 12, 1961 in Haverhill, Massachusetts, United States. Pearce has written a biographical account of the poet from Anglo- South Africa also known as Catholic converted Roy Campbell, whose nationalist beliefs in his time during the Spanish Civil War have caused Campbell to be labelled as a Fascist and excluded from contemporary poetry anthologies. The biography of Pearce reveals that Campbell was fired in the post of editor for the publication Voorslag as well as being subjected social stigma after publishing articles advocating racial harmony in 1920s South Africa. Pearce also explains the ways in which Campbell refused to be a part of the efforts of Sir Oswald Mosley to recruit him to join The British Union of Fascists. Pearce provides further evidence from Campbell’s writings and poems to demonstrate that he was a supporter of the British efforts to defeat Nazi Germany. Pearce has produced an anthology that contains Campbell’s poems and verse translations, and it is still available in publication.

He was heavily involved in NF organization activities. He became famous in 1977, when at the age of 16 he founded Bulldog the official newspaper of the organization. Bulldog was associated with the most vicious NF propaganda. In the year 1980, Pearce became editor of Nationalism Today, in which Pearce argued strongly in favor of racial protection, and wrote a pamphlet titled Fight for Freedom! on the subject in 1982.

In 1979, Pearce was invited to a debate about immigration on BBC Radio 1 alongside a member of the Anti-Nazi League, and Stiff Little Fingers frontman Jake Burns. Pearce has written that he remembers little of the debate, “beyond the obvious vituperative exchanges between me and the equally acrimonious young person who represented the Anti-Nazi League.” After the broadcast, Pearce was astonished when Burns invited him to share a pint at a local pub. During their drink, Burns, who was known for, “seeking peace in Northern Ireland while I was preaching total war,” attempted to gently persuade Pearce to reconsider his opinions. Pearce has called this encounter with Burns as one of many, “lights of clarity that led the way out of the darkness.”

He was a close associate of Nick Griffin, and both were attacked by Martin Webster for devoting too much time to writing for the Third Position magazine Rising and not enough to their NF duties. As a result, he joined Griffin in resigning from the NF in November 1983 before circulating a statement in which they complained about Webster’s role in the party. The statement claimed that Pearce and Griffin were leaving to avoid a Webster-led witch hunt and it had the effect of ensuring the removal of Webster from his post as National Activities Organiser.

Because of the white supremacist content of his writings, Pearce was twice prosecuted under the Race Relations Act of 1976 and was sentenced to prison in 1985 and 1982.

He has written, “For all my extremism, I had no desire to kill anybody, or to have someone kill anybody for me.” Pearce has also written, “In spite of my own unwillingness to become too directly involved in the terrorist operations in Northern Ireland, I was very aware, as were the leaders of the UVF and UDA, that National Front members serving with the Army in Northern Ireland were smuggling intelligence information on suspected IRA members to the Loyalist paramilitaries. This information included photographs of suspected IRA members, the type of car they drove and its registration number, and other useful facts. I have little doubt that this information was used by the UVF and UDA to target and assassinate their enemies.”

In 1998, Joseph Pearce wrote to Alexander Solzhenitsyn and expressed interest in writing a biography of him. Pearce mentioned in his letter that he had already published a biography of G.K. Chesterton and that he hoped to correct the faults of other Solzhenitsyn biographies by placing the writer’s Christian Faith at center stage. Pearce did not expect to hear back, but Solzhenitsyn replied almost immediately and invited Pearce to travel to Russia to begin work on the biography. When Pearce arrived at the Solzhenitsyn family’s residence, Alya Solzhenitsyn made a point of showing that her husband was collecting the complete works of Chesterton. During their meetings, Solzhenitsyn told Pearce that he sees Russia and the West as two parts of a threatened Christian civilization. In his 2013 memoirs, Pearce has described his meetings with Solzhenitsyn as “one of the greatest moments of my life. I am also gratified to know that the great Russian writer approved of my biography of him.”
