Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

FRANCIS PARKER YOCKEY (1917-1960) is one of America's foremost anti-liberal thinkers. Yockey studied at Georgetown University, De Paul Law School, and Notre Dame Law School, where he received his degree in law cum laude in 1941. In addition to Imperium, Yockey is the author of The Proclamation of London (1949) and The Enemy of Europe (1953). But Yockey was not just a political theorist. He was a political actor. In 1948, he founded the European Liberation Front. His ultimate aim was a unified Europe, free to pursue its destiny without the domination of outside powers. Using a bewildering array of fake passports and identities, Yockey traveled the world building alliances with National Socialists, fascists, Arab nationalists, Marxists, and Third World liberation movements. He committed suicide on the night of June 16-17, 1960, in the San Francisco Jail, where he was being held on charges of passport fraud.

Willis Carto (1926-2015) was a tireless and influential American nationalist-populist political activist and publisher. His publications include Right, Western Destiny, American Free Press, The Spotlight, The American Mercury, and The Barnes Review. He founded the Liberty Lobby, the National Youth Alliance, the Populist Party, the Noontide Press, and the Institute for Historical Review. Willis Carto visited Francis Parker Yockey in the San Francisco Jail on June 10, 1960, shortly before his suicide, and for many years was the principal promoter of Yockey's ideas and legend.

Greg Johnson, Ph.D., is the General Editor of the Centennial Edition of Francis Parker Yockey's Works. He is Editor-in-Chief of Counter-Currents Publishing and the Counter-Currents webzine.
