Specialist Notes

First limited edition of 200 copies published in a two-volume set in London.
Signed & nbsp; by Francis Parker Yockey under the pseudonym of Ulick Varange, it has been defined as the American equivalent of "Mein Kampf". Francis Parker Yockey (Chicago 1917-San Francisco 1960) is considered one of the fathers of the American radical right in the postwar period and was highly regarded by the European far-right circles. Graduated from the University of Notre Dame School of Law in 1941, in 1946 he worked for the United States Department of War with the task of reviewing the files relating to the Nuremberg Trials in Germany. On this occasion, he expressed very lenient attitudes towards Nazi criminals and criticized the legal procedures, which he considered prejudicial, for this reason he was quickly fired. After the experience in Nuremberg he ventured on a long journey to Africa, following which he wrote & nbsp; Imperium, in which he argues the need for a Nazi transnational European empire that would extend "from the rocky promontories of Galway to the Urals ". Borrowed from an aristocratic, neo-Spenglerian vision, the work, which bears the dedication to the "hero of the twentieth century" implying Hitler, is strongly anti-Communist and anti-Semitic in nature, so much so as to insinuate the germ of Holocaust denial thought. Deeply critical of the United States, in his opinion a liberal democracy controlled by Jews, Yockey actually manifested anti-American positions that led him to approach Arab circles, such as Nasser's Egypt, united by an irreducible hatred of Israel. He lived the last years of his life as a fugitive until his arrest in San Francisco, where he committed suicide in prison with a cyanide capsule.
