Powerful people tried to stop you from reading this book.\nFrancis Parker Yockey's The Enemy of Europe narrowly escaped total destruction. Published in 1953 in West Germany, The Enemy of Europe argued that Europeans should regard the United States, not the Soviet Union, as their greater enemy in the Cold War. West Germany's liberal democratic regime banned the book and destroyed every copy that came into its hands. Only a few copies of Yockey's German translation survived.\nThis new edition completes The Enemy of Europe's return from the ashes. It includes the first complete English version of The Enemy of Europe, reverse translated from the German edition by Thomas Francis and F. Roger Devlin. Also included is Yockey's German translation, fully corrected and annotated, with its own index. Yockey biographer Kerry Bolton's extensive Introduction places The Enemy of Europe in its Cold War context. 
The Enemy of Europe is an indispensable volume for understanding America's most important anti-liberal thinker.

The Enemy of Europe (The Centennial Edition of Francis Parker Yockey's Works)

Francis Parker Yockey (1917-1960) was an American political theorist and activist who drew on Oswald Spengler's philosophy of history and culture to argue for a pan-European imperial political order. Under the pen name of Ulick Varange, he published Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics in 1948 and The Enemy of Europe in 1953. Yockey traveled widely under many aliases, seeking to build a coalition of fascists, Arab nationalists, Communists, and Third World revolutionaries to fight American hegemony, which he saw as Europe's primary enemy. He committed suicide on June 16, 1960 in the San Francisco Jail, where he was being held on charges of passport fraud. 
The World in Flames collects all of Yockey's surviving essays and correspondence, including recent and never-before-published archival discoveries. 
The thirty-one chapters range from Yockey's earliest surviving writings, "The Philosophy of Constitutional Law," written when he was an undergraduate at Georgetown University, and "The Tragedy of Youth," written for Father Coughlin's Social Justice--to his enigmatic suicide note, including along the way his 1949 manifesto The Proclamation of London of the European Liberation Front; his 1951 speech on Communist subversion, "America's Two Ways of Waging War," ghost-written for Senator Joseph McCarthy; and his final, apocalyptic geopolitical writings, "A Warning to America," a long-lost estimate of Communist China, and "The World in Flames," his overview of the Cold War. 
The World in Flames also collects works that Yockey co-authored with H. Keith Thompson and Frederick Weiss, as well as fragments of his lost writings from the files of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, which shadowed his every move. 
Two appendices reprint the surviving issues of Yockey's newsletter Frontfighter and H. Keith Thompson's memorial poem. 
The World in Flames is an indispensable volume for understanding America's most important anti-liberal thinker.
