A note from the editor. lain de Benoist’s text already contained a substantial number of footnotes, all of which have been retained for the present edition. To these I have added additional footnotes where I felt they would be helpful, either to explicate references or to allow the reader to more deeply explore de Benoist’s sources. Notes added by myself are so indicated, while notes with no indicator are part of the original text. Also, wherever texts have been referenced, they have been replaced by references to the English-language originals or translations, when they are available. Works that have not been translated are retained in their original language. When reading the text, please keep in mind that de Benoist originally wrote and published this book in 1985.1 Although the developments during the intervening years in no way detract from the value of his observations, he does make occasional reference to contemporary circumstances which no longer exist, in particular the Soviet domination of eastern Europe. Finally, both the translator and the editor wish to acknowledge the assistance they received by consulting Dr. Tomislav Sunic’s previous translation of the first chapter of this book, which was published in the Summer 2003 issue of The Occidental Quarterly. Although this book, including the first chapter, is an entirely original translation, Dr. Sunic’s text was extremely valuable in clarifying some passages. - JOHN B. MORGAN. ...
