The influence of this very real small group is, however, only a fantasy, a myth. The author, a historian specializing in neo-Nazism, looks back on this speculative construction, its origins, its ideological tinkering and the practices which have succeeded in forming a sort of radical and sulphurous counterculture which has created a fascination with esotericism and Nazism and the SS. To better understand it, he also paints a portrait of some of the authors who contributed to this extremist subculture, such as the Italian esotericist Julius Evola, the Argentine anthropologist Jacques-Marie de Mahieu, Chilean neo-Nazi Miguel Serrano, and the writer Jean-Paul Bourre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars, researchers and activists as well as general readers with an interest in the history of Nazism and the occult.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309264314750,"sku":"NW9781032234731","price":34.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032234731.jpg?v=1778579663","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/nazi-occultism","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
