I might not have fully understood everything. A lot of philosophy goes right over my head. Like it’s even flying low and I’m out here dodging it. I don’t tend to think in this way, so when I dive into this realm, it’s a bit harder for me to understand all the pieces. 

That being said, I really enjoyed this. It’s a solid look at far right philosophers/writers over the past century. It’s kind of like a cliff notes version of each. We’re so much exposed to their writings, but more so their lives, their ideas, and their impact. Rose chose these guys and there seems to be a through line on where the ideas are going. By the time we get to Samuel Francis, we see where the right is going and how accurate he was. It’s an odd book that I’ll need to sit with to digest. 

It’s weird to think how some of not all of these guys found themselves or rather considered themselves to be elite and part of the superior class and it doesn’t seem like they’ve questioned why. They just were. 

It’s worth reading to get an idea of where the far right gets their ideas from.
