WAR FOR ETERNITY - BENJAMIN R TEITELBAUM KARTON...

'Insightful and immersive' Sunday Times 'An intellectual non-fiction thriller' Financial Times
A riveting exposé of the hidden philosophical movement that drives the populist right around
the world Steve Bannon in the United States. Aleksandr Dugin in Russia. Olavo de Carvalho in
Brazil. All rising to positions of power in the past decade. All affiliated with an obscure
philosophical movement called Traditionalism. Since its birth in the early 20th century 
Traditionalism has defined itself against modernity and Enlightenment values. Traditionalist
thinkers celebrated hierarchy  denounced the idea of progress  and regarded liberal secularism
capitalism  and communism as aligned forces working to replace social  cultural and political
norms. Ethnographer Benjamin Teitelbaum had been studying Traditionalism for years as a sort of
novelty  associated with a restless subsection of the right -- too antisocial for activism and
largely without influence. And yet when Steve Bannon entered the White House in 2017  reports
suggested he was an avid reader of Traditionalist teachings. Teitelbaum spent years
infiltrating this strange group of self-styled thinkers  gurus and influencers and getting to
the heart of their philosophy. Through exclusive interviews and deep historical context  he
reveals the radical worldview infusing the thinking of powerful figures today and inspiring a
renegade reinterpretation of humanity  geopolitics and history. Fast-paced and gripping  War
for Eternity is a riveting expose and a must-read for anyone trying to understand the Far
Right's vision to change the world.
