Francis Parker Yockey byl americký politický myslitel a polemik, jehož dílo se zabývá zachováním západní kultury prostřednictvím totalitní vize. Jeho hlavní práce zkoumá kulturní cykly a obhajuje rasově založený přístup k ochraně západní civilizace. Yockey byl aktivní v různých radikálně pravicových hnutích po celý svůj dospělý život, ale je dnes připomínán především jako literární autor.
Set in mid-1947, during a time when the authoritarian Right faced significant decline, the book explores Francis Parker Yockey's vision for its revival. Isolated in Brittas Bay, Ireland, Yockey seeks to create a foundational text akin to Marx's works, aiming to galvanize the Right through an inspired manifesto and the establishment of a militant political party. His writing of "Imperium" reflects a fervent desire to reshape the political landscape and reignite the spirit of the Right in a post-war Europe.
Powerful people tried to stop you from reading this book. 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.
