Europa: German Conservative Foreign Policy 1870-1940

by Alexander Jacob (Translator)

Europa presents, to the modern reader, the foreign political thought of four major German conservatives from the crucial period between the Second Reich and the Second World War. The texts chosen reveal the spiritual and cultural motives, of German conservatives at the turn of the century, that inspired expansionist policies and the consistent opposition to the Jewish financial rule. The lack of German translations of these important texts so far has clearly been a disadvantage to the modern historian in his assessment of the philosophical significance of the Conservative, as well as of the National Socialist, foreign political ideology.

[Matthew W · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Europa" is an excellent sampling of works written by forgotten German political philosophers, such as Paul De Lagarde and Edgar Julius Jung (who was purged in Night of the Long Knives). I also enjoyed the excerpts from Alfred Rosenberg. No doubt, an insightful and valuable work for anyone interested in learning the history of German political philosophy.
