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.
