'Insightful and immersive' Sunday Times 'An intellectual
non-fiction thriller' Financial Times A riveting expose 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.
