The Revolt Against Civilization - The Menace of the Under-Man [Untermensch]

"The revolutionary unrest which to-day afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root-cause is not Russian Bolshevik propaganda, nor the late war, nor the French Revolution, but a process of racial impoverishment, which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own. In light of [recent] biological discoveries, confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science, especially psychology, all political and social problems need to be re-examined. Such a re-examination of one of these problems - the problem of social revolution - has been attempted in the present book." - Preface. "Lothrop Stoddard (1883-1950) was an American historian, journalist and political scientist. He wrote several books advocating eugenics, white supremacy, Nordicism, and scientific racism. His books were once widely read both inside and outside the United States. This book introduced the term Untermensch (the German translation of 'Under-man') into Nazi conceptions of race. As a journalist he spent time in Germany during the first months of World War II, where he interviewed several prominent Nazi officials." - Wikipedia. xiii, 255 pp. Index.
