I know opinions very, but here goes. I just arrived on board OD. What books, prioritized in orde of "must read" status would be most helpful for someone who has just arrived at OD and isn't up to speed on traditional conservatism, white nationalism, and related issues discussed most often here. I hear good things about 1924. What happened to bring about WWII and the beginnning of the end? Trying to figure out what titles to get started with. Thanks.

"Stalin's War of Extermination"
Excellent book. I just got it a few weeks ago as a gift and am still working on it. Reading it in conjunction with "The Stalin-Kaganovich Correspondence" is an exercise in mind-bending. The editors of the The SKC call Kaganovich the "hero" of their book.
I might also suggest [url=http://www.marxists.de/middleast/brenner/]Zionism in the Age of the Dictators[/url] and [url=http://www.marxists.de/middleast/ironwall/]The Iron Wall - Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir[/url]. Though written by a Marxist, it's still invaluable and supressed history.

Rumours aside, David Irving's books are always to be recommended. The pricing helps as well. For your purposes, "Hitler's War" and "Churchill's War" will suffice, though regrettably, the equivalent of ââ¬ÅRooseveltââ¬â¢s Warââ¬Â is as of yet nonexistent in a comprehensive book format. Given the nature of the relationship between the two leaders of the English-speaking countries and the sequence of events this is a serious omission. But I am sure others here can help fill in that gap.

Well for starters I guess if you want to read books that you can find in any bookstore; you can start with Pat Buchanan's books like "A Republic, not an Empire" and "Death of the West". You can find these books in any bookstore, so you'll have no problem finding them.
Depending on your religious views, Thomas C. Oden's [url=http://www.thbookservice.com/bookpage.asp?prod_cd=c6171]the Rebirth of Orthodoxy[/url] is good if you're a Christian. If not, well it's a still good read about the revival of traditional values.
Christine Sommers [url=http://www.friesian.com/sommers.htm]the War against Boys[/url] talks about how feminism(or misguided feminism as the author terms it) is harming America's young males.
[url=http://www.political-sciences.com/The_End_of_the_American_Era_US_Foreign_Policy_and_the_Geopolitics_of_the_Twentyfirst_Century_0375412158.html]The End of the American Era: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Geopolitics of the Twenty-first Century [/url] by Charles A. Kupchan. Though given from a somewhat Liberal point of view, Kupchan does a good job refuting many of the myths about America's international role and it's foreign policy. He explains that globalization will not bring peace, but in many ways may cause more tension between nations. Basically he tells how American world dominance will soon be replaced by a multi-polar world-order much like the one in the 19th century.
He talks about how the digital age will probally soon cause social and political fragmentation along ethnic/racial lines in America. Good, despite his techno-centric world view and his support for the EU.
These books in my opinion are a good start when looking for books in mainstream bookstores. I'll add more later.

OK -- our basic problem is that us white folks are relatively individualistic and that our societies seem subject to manipulation and exploitation by a certain cohesive group. We need to understand that group, understand ourselves, and ponder how to bring about the cohesive organization we need to counter that cohesive group. Like MacDonald, I have a degree in political philosophy (ethics & political philosophy, to be precise) but recognize that the problem is essentially biological.
The list:
The Culture of Critique A People That Shall Dwell Alone Separation and Its Discontents
Some evolutionary biologists have proposed that the history of life on earth has been marked by a number of major transitions in which previously autonomous units became integrated into higher-level units.
And
The social insects are a more recent example of lower-level units coalescing into higher-level units.
And
The transition is never complete and every unit [such as the human body], no matter how tightly integrated, has rogue elements that succeed at the expense of the unit.
The brief discussion on p. 18 of dicrocoelium dendriticum (which is a brain parasite at one stage of its life cycle) also provides food for thought. This trematode, like various other parasites, manipulates the behavior of its host, much as the Jewish community manipulates the behavior of its host society.
3. D.S. Wilson's Darwin's Cathedral: Evolution, Religion, and the Nature of Society -- takes the above a couple steps further and describes religion, with its emphasis on morality, as serving to organize humans into higher-level units on the temporal plane, i.e., adaptive units in the context of natural selection: *
...the basic argument can be briefly and simply stated: Natural selection is a multi-level process that operates among groups in addition to among individuals within groups. Any unit becomes endowed with the properties inherent in the word organism to the degree that it is a unit of selection. The history of life on earth has been marked by may transitions from groups of organisms to groups as organisms. Organismic groups achieve their unity with mechanisms that suppress selection within groups without themselves being overtly altruistic. Human evolution falls within the paradigm of multilevel selection and the major transitions of life. Moral systems provide many of the mechanisms that enable human groups to function as adaptive units.*
More to come....

Trust yer Uncle Franco: if you are a newbie, start with David Duke's "My Awakening." It provides a large OVERVIEW, which is what you need.
Then, start with Dr. Kevin MacDonald's books.
After that, you will be largely enlightened about the things you NEED to know.
As for FDR, see the WSI url link below, and find "F.D. Roosevelt." On the front page. Ditto some WWII stuff.

That's an open ended question as you phrase it.
Some here label themselves "WN"s, some "Paleo"s, w/ assorted Catholics, Prots, Orthodox, and tree-hugging heathens. ;)
I think some of the above lists are a bit Tribe heavy. As to traditional (real) conservatism, I'm coming to the thirtysomething conclusion that most conservatives are born, not converted (i.e. its cultural).
But on conservatism I would suggest Mencken, Burke, Belloc, Kirk etc. Belloc may be a certain shade of conservative flavor, but he is nearly lockstep with me in everything I've read (I'm Catholic, he's arch Catholic). If you're up to tackling it, I suggest Spengler, who for me was the intellectual equivalent of a mind-expanding narcotic.
For WN in general, there is an ample amount of material on the net. Yggdrasil's site is an excellent collection of work and presents a powerful argument for the ethos. Carol on the Web (if her site still exists) presents great toungue in cheek material on parochial American issues. And Sobran and Francis of course. Some on this site will nonetheless excoriate the latter two (with some purpose) for not "naming the Jew."
Probably the best single piece of modern conservative oratory I've ever read is Lindberg's speech (Des Moines?). Encapsulates American COnservative thought and goals in a single piece. Easily found on the net.

For general political philosophy, I will add:
The Constitution of Liberty - F Hayek Too whiggish for some, but a very good description of how 'liberal democracy' arose, and how it is destroyed (argued in broadly economic terms)
Discourses on Livy - Machiavelli Maintain your republic the Machiavelli way!
Democracy, the God that failed - HH Hoppe Goes too far in some ways (he is a libertarian after all), but drives home well the idea of the government as a parasite on the population, especially in describing how 'democrats' destroy civilisation by shortening the reliable time horizons of the public.

I also suggest reading Aristotle's "Politics" and Plato's "Republic" and "Laws" for classical political philosophy. But I agree with Campion Moore Boru in that Burke is very good. St. Thomas Aquinas's political writings are very good as well, for a more Christian point of view of politics.
As for Machiavelli, "Discourses on Livy" is good. I would also suggest "the Prince" and Book I of "the Art of War", which talks about the relationship between political systems and military systems.
[url=http://www.stvladimirs.ca/library/what-is-secularism.html]What is Secularism?[/url] by Father Michael Azkoul is very good from an Orthodox Christian point of view.

Most of the above is helpful especially Franco's recommendation, My Awakening.
For a really current collection that covers all the bases from a non-WN but highly bright source, check out wildman John Kaminski's book, America's Autopsy Report. At the moment it's a total underground bestseller and it actualy deserves to be read.
If you can't find Kaminski's book, his internet articles will do just fine:

I appreciate your comments WM.
I, shamefully am also unaware of Voegelin's work, though I am familiar, at least, with his name. He's been mentioned to me before, and I will make dedicated effort to fill this void.
I can't disagree with you in large part that most of the cited authors are fragmentary pieces of the conservative whole. Such is as it is. Though I do believe Belloc articulated some more detailed theories.
As to the Judenfrage, I don't disagree. My aim is not to dissude folks from examing and researching the issue, but rather to argue that conservatism exists outside of the issue, and its ethics are not nec. determined by reactions to the the Tribe. Your argument begs the question, but for the Tribe would conservatism wither away?
2003-09-04 20:48 | User Profile
I also suggest Alexis de Toqueveille's "Democracy in America".
2003-09-04 22:23 | User Profile
I can't get too excited about Voeglin. He does write a good deal on the ancient Israelis, which is perhaps unusual, but his readings of Plato and Aristotle involves a good deal of rehashing of widely known facts. (Maybe I've just been reading the wrong Voeglin works.)
MacIntyre's After Virtue is pretty good if you want some hard-core, conservative philosophy from a Catholic perspective. Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia, along with the attendant literature, makes for some good libertarian reading, and thus offers an excellet focus on property.
As far as 20th C political thought goes, the best things to read relative to white nationalist and conservative thinking, is Aristotle & the Stoics, along with good commentaries on these Greeks. Aristotelians and Stoics both have a fairly strong focus on 'natural talent,' and the virtues necessary for survival and earthly flourishing. Particularly in Aristotle, 'natural talent' has racial implications.
There really isn't very much good 20th C racialist literature. But Nietzsche's 19th C Geneology of Morals is fairly good as far as racialist thinking in general goes. Earlier, there is the overtly racialist thinking of Kant (the Anthropology also briefly addresses the 'Jewish question') and Hegel. Earlier still, one can look at Locke's wonderful 2nd Treatise to get a good idea of his libertarian/racialist, very English brand of thought.
In theology, one can look to Herder for a strong case that all peoples have their own purpose on the earth, such that preservation of ancient cultures (for example, use of 'vulgar' languages, collection of old German songs & folktales, dress, etc.) is of great value. Also, Martin Luther's writings, with its emphasis on work, has some useful conservative/white-nationalist implications.

Since when was Herder a theologian? I believe his theories fall more under philosophy rather than theology. Also I believe Johann Fichte, another in the German Idealist school, is very good as far as nationalism goes. Another German Idealist, Friederich von Schelling is another good to read.

Herder was a Lutheran pastor who, well, wrote a lot of theology. Thus he is a theologian. But yes, he is also a philosopher, and one could debate whether he is a better philosopher than theologian.

**[color=blue]History of Race, Evolution, and Behavior[/color]
[url=http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/]http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/[/url]
[color=blue]J. P. Rushton's book Race, Evolution, and Behavior[/color] collected and analyzed many of the data sets on race differences in brain size and intelligence and personality and temperament first noted by Darwin, Galton, and other 19th century visionaries. Using evidence from psychology, anthropology, sociology and other scientific disciplines, Race, Evolution, and Behavior shows there are at least three biological races (subspecies) of man - Orientals (i.e., Mongoloids or Asians), Blacks (i.e., Negroids or Africans), and Whites (i.e., Caucasoids or Europeans).
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ There are recognizable profiles for the three major racial groups on brain size, intelligence, personality and temperament, sexual behavior, and rates of fertility, maturation and longevity. On average, Orientals and their descendants around the world fall at one end of the continuum, Blacks and their descendants around the world fall at the other end of the continuum, Europeans regularly fall in between. This worldwide pattern implies evolutionary and genetic, rather than purely social, political, economic, or cultural causes.
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ Race, Evolution, and Behavior was originally brought out by Transaction Publishers in 1995 and widely reviewed in the academic and popular media. The 1st edition was deemed sufficiently important that Takuya Kura, an ethologist at the University of Kyoto, and his brother Kenya Kura, an economist at the University of San Diego, translated it into Japanese. It was published in 1996 by Hakuhin-sha of Tokyo. Transaction published a 2nd edition in 1997 with a new Afterword, which they also released in paperback. In 1999 they produced a "Special Abridged Edition" which presented the same research in a condensed and popularly written style, similar to that used for articles in Discover Magazine, Reader's Digest, and Scientific American.
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ A firestorm of controversy engulfed Transaction's 1999 Special Abridged Edition and Transaction felt forced to relinquish the copyright. When it was mailed out to thousands of academics, the Progressive Sociologists, a self-proclaimed radical group within the American Sociological Association, and some other self-styled "anti-racist" individuals and groups, particularly among anthropologists, objected to its distribution and threatened Transaction with loss of a booth at annual meetings, advertising space in journals, and access to mailing lists if they continued to send it out.
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ Transaction caved in to this pressure, withdrew from publishing the book, and even apologized for having distributed it. They claimed that their copyright should never have appeared on the Special Abridged Edition and that it had "all been a mistake." Transaction's letter of apology appeared on the inside front cover of their flagship journal Society (January/February, 2000). Accounts of the affair appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education (January 14, 2000), Canada's National Post (January 31, 2000), Anthropology News (April, 2000), and elsewhere.
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ Why the attempt to trash or suppress this book? Because there is no stronger taboo today than talking about race. In many cases, just being accused of "racism" can get you fired. Some vocal groups in academia and the media simply forbid an open discussion of race. It is difficult to disagree with Charles Murray's (1996, p. 575) conclusion in his analysis of the aftermath to The Bell Curve controversy, that in regard to heritable variation and race, science has "become self-censored and riddled with taboos -- in a word, corrupt."
ÃÂ
ÃÂ ÃÂ The goal of all editions of Race, Evolution, and Behavior has been purely scientific - to describe and explain the world around us as it really is. The book has no policy suggestions or programs to offer, but it does suggest that decision makers would benefit from knowing the facts about race. Both science and justice depend on truth. Both should reject error and falsehood, however well meant.
What Others Have Said àààââ¬Å(An) incendiary thesis....that separate races of human beings evolved different reproductive strategies to cope with different environments and that these strategies led to physical differences in brain size and hence in intelligence. Human beings who evolved in the warm but highly unpredictable environment of Africa adopted a strategy of high reproduction, while human beings who migrated to the hostile cold of Europe and northern Asia took to producing fewer children but nurturing them more carefully.ââ¬Â
---Malcolm W. Browne, New York Times Book Review
ââ¬ÅRushton is a serious scholar who has assembled serious data.àConsider just one example: brain size. The empirical reality, verified by numerous modern studies, including several based on magnetic resonance imaging, is that a significant and substantial relationship does exist between brain size and measured intelligence after body size is taken into account and that the races do have different distributions of brain size.ââ¬Â
---Charles Murray, Afterword to The Bell Curve
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅDescribes hundreds of studies worldwide that show a consistent pattern of human racial differences in such characteristics as intelligence, brain size, genital size, strength of sex drive, reproductive potency, industriousness, sociability, and rule following.àOn each of these variables, the groups are aligned in the order: Orientals, Caucasians, Blacks.ââ¬Â
---Mark Snyderman, National Review
ââ¬ÅRushtonââ¬â¢s Race, Evolution, and Behavior...is an attempt to understand [race] differences in terms of life-history evolution....Perhaps there ultimately will be some serious contribution from the traditional smoke-and-mirrors social science treatment of IQ, but for now Rushtonââ¬â¢s framework is essentially the only game in town.ââ¬Â
---Henry Harpending, Evolutionary Anthropology
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅThis brilliant book is the most impressive theory-based study...of the psychological and behavioral differences between the major racial groups that I have encountered in the world literature on this subject.ââ¬Â
---Arthur R. Jensen, University of California, Berkeley
ââ¬ÅThe only acceptable explanation of race differences in behavior allowed in public discourse is an entirely environmental one...Professor Rushton deserves our gratitude for having the courage to declare that ââ¬Ëthis emperor has no clothes,ââ¬â¢ and that a more satisfactory explanation must be sought.ââ¬Â
---Thomas J. Bouchard, Jr., University of Minnesota
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅThe remarkable resistance to racial science in our times has led to comparisons with the inquisition of Rome, active during the Renaissance.... Astronomy and the physical sciences had their Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileoàa few centuries ago; society and the welfare of humanity is the better for it today. In a directly analogous fashion, psychology and the social sciences today have their Darwin, Galton, and Rushton.ââ¬Â
---Glayde Whitney, Contemporary Psychology
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅThe data are startling to the uninitiated....Race, Evolution, and Behavior confronts us as few books have with the dilemmas wrought in a democratic society by individual and group differences in key human traits.ââ¬Â
---Linda Gottfredson, Politics and the Life Sciences
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅProfessor Rushton is widely known and respected for the unusual combination of rigour and originality in his work....Few concerned with understanding the problems associated with race can afford to disregard this storehouse of well-integrated information which gives rise to a remarkable synthesis.ââ¬Â
---Hans J. Eysenck, University of London
ÃÂ
ââ¬ÅShould, if there is any justice, receive a Nobel Prize.ââ¬Â
---Richard Lynn, Spectator

** I would also read The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Just because you're debating, doesn't mean it's not war. Excellent book on strategy.**
Yes its good for beginners. If you really want a more in depth insight into military strategy you should read Clausewitz's "Von Krieg"(On War) or if possible Henri de Jomini's "Art of War". I also suggest Book I of Machiavelli's "Art of War". For a good analysis of these strategists than read Michael I. Handel's "[url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0714681326/ref%3Dpd%5Fsim%5Fb%5Fdp%5F5/026-5408862-7490858]Masters of War: Classical Strategic Thought[/url]

Hey! I gave you credit.. well, indirectly anyway.
Give the guy a chance to read and digest some of this stuff... I've had the whole 'Roots of Strategy' series on my bookshelves for three years now and I STILL got to finish reading some of the authors. And Sun Tzu, well, I get something new out of it everytime I read it. That's the beauty of it.

YES!!
I first read this in the late '70s, when the multiracial transformation of the West (both North America and Europe) had barely registered with the public. Growing up in the Chicago area, I was familiar with racial change at the neighborhood level, but I had never imagined that an entire people, my people, could be swept away in a similar manner. After reading Raspail, my world, that had seemed to be so solid, now appeared as a fragile creation that could no longer be taken for granted.
And, the book is a good read, too.
