Francis 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.
This 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.
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.
In mid-1947, the authoritarian Right was at its absolute nadir, crushed in the pincers of liberal democracy and communism. But Francis Parker Yockey dreamed of its rebirth. First, the Right needed a Das Kapital, then a Communist Manifesto, then a militant political party. Thus Yockey withdrew to Brittas Bay, Ireland, one of the few places in Europe untouched by the most destructive war in history. There, in a blaze of inspiration, he wrote Imperium.
Drawing upon the ideas of Oswald Spengler and Carl Schmitt, Imperium offers a philosophy of history, culture, and politics, as well as a synoptic overview of the Second World War and the post-war world. Yockey argues that the destiny of Western Civilization will be realized only by the creation of a pan-European imperial order.
Although Imperium was reviled by many on the Right for its Spenglerian rejection of biological race, it was praised by such figures as Julius Evola and Revilo P. Oliver and has exercised a profound influence on the imperialist strand of the post-war European Right, including such figures as Jean Thiriart and Guillaume Faye.

M connu en Europe et pourtant livre d'extr me droite le plus vendu de tous les temps aux Etats-Unis, on a tous d j entendu parler de ce livre unique et d rangeant, ne serait-ce que pour le film du m me nom d di l'extr me droite am ricaine o il ne fait pourtant qu'une fugace apparition.
Mais ce qui est certain, c'est que ce livre a beaucoup dire, m me encore de nos jours: Imperium se veut la suite du d clin de l'Occident de Spengler. En fait, l'auteur d'Imperium surpasse l'oeuvre de Spengler: il d finit la Culture dans toute son importance et les cons quences long terme du multiculturalisme. Imperium tudie et rejette les mauvais apports du XIXe si cle: Marx, Freud, l' tat pluraliste, le lib ralisme, la d mocratie, le communisme, l'internationalisme... Rien de tout cela ne satisfait les r alit s organiques et vitales de la politique. Imperium pr sente des d finitions et des explications politiques, sociales et historiques uniques, presque sot riques qui sont ind niables et doivent tre reconnues par tous avant qu'il ne soit trop tard, que l'Occident ne puisse plus survivre...
