Racial Contours: The Factor of Race In Human Survival

Description

'It is still even possible that a cataclysmic danger simultaneously threatening all these western Europeans, an adversary seen by all, as had menaced western Europe before, will bring them more closely together with their true kinship as the keystone. In the meantime the disruptive prejudices of parochial politicians, merchants, dissident racial minorities, and organizations such as the United Nations will strive to keep them apart. It is strange to reflect that the gallant Alans who fought against the Mongoloid Huns in the 4th century, though Sarmatians, became more Germanic than Slavonic, and the men who defeated Attila a century later were largely of the same breed. The same racial strain was predominant in the forces of the Frank, Charles Martel, when he successfully resisted further Semitic military incursions into Europe in the 8th century, and in the 20th century (1954) it was still the same men, fighting as mercenaries in the French Foreign Legion, who set such a high martial standard at Dien Bien Phu in Tonking when this Far Eastern outpost of Western democracy was beleaguered by the Chinese (Vietminh) communist forces.' -pp.209-210 Front Cover ......Page 1 Half-title and illustration ......Page 3 Title Page ......Page 5 Printer's imprint ......Page 6 CONTENTS ......Page 7 Introduction ......Page 9 1.
