Fascism in its various iterations swept through continental Europe like a tidal wave in the 1920s and 30s. While Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy tend to steal the show in historical examinations of the topic, Spain was also one of its most fruitful strongholds. Ramiro Ledesma Ramos, born in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century, made a name for himself as one of the most fervent pioneers of Fascism in his country, combining what he saw as the best elements of Mussolini's and Hitler's philosophies in order to create the ideal synthesis for Spain.Instrumental in the formation of the Falange, the leading Spanish Fascist political organization, Ledesma personally designed the yoke and arrows symbol that would remain in use after the organization's assimilation by the Francoist government. It is often said that the war of ideas finds its seeds in the young, and Speech to the Youth of Spain implored the next generation to raise Spain up to be a great European power once more. In this appeal to the young men and women of Spain, the author draws upon the lessons learned from his country's ideologically aligned neighbors, as well as from its own rich history.Caught in enemy territory at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Ramiro Ledesma Ramos was arrested and ultimately executed by the Republicans, but his ideas would go on to shape the subsequent decades of Spanish history. Antelope Hill is privileged to publish the work of this preeminent political philosopher, translated into English for the first time.
Nearing the end of the Russian Civil War, a large portion of the White Army, along with some of their families and other emigres, evacuated to Greek-occupied Gallipoli, taking with them the very soul of Russia, desperately hoping to see her in a new dawn. Among them was author Ivan Lukash, who penned the following collection of musings and observations during this time in Gallipoli from 1920 to 1921. Bare Fields paints a vivid image of their camps, from the bustle of the mornings to the late-night outings of both soldiers and locals, sprinkled with an abundance of anecdotes from such famed men as Pyotr Wrangel, Anton Turkul, Vladimir Manstein, and Alexander Kutepov. An overarching theme to the book can be illustrated with the following question: What will a Russian man do when he is deprived of everything-his homeland, his wealth, his family, when nothing remains but the dry, gray landscape of a once beautiful city, now turned into Russia's foreign cemetery of ashes? As hope persists among some while others fall to despair, Lukash beautifully captures the varied answers to this unasked question in a way that is deeply insightful and surprisingly timeless. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present this first English translation of Bare Fields: The Russians in Gallipoli, 1920-21 by Ivan Lukash, translated by Elevenfortyseven, a delicate yet powerful testament to the Russian will. In the words of Lieutenant Misha, as recorded by Lukash, "We have become the living idea of Russia, and if she is alive, we are not dead either, because we carry Russia in us like the sun. And that is why everyone here has a burning soul."
Europe in the twentieth century was a continent of tumult, revolutions, and war. When Israel Is King focuses in on the events that took place in Hungary in the early part of the century, recounting a swirl of underhanded dealings and political murders as the fortunes of different actors and interests rose and fell, and draws particular attention to one pernicious influence and its role in the chaos.The factions of Count Tisza, the Kaiser, and even the Soviet Union all made Hungary their contesting ground, a convenient proxy for larger struggles. Above all, however, this narrative brings out the pivotal role played by Israel-that is, the Jewish people and their collective interests. These interests are clearly identified in the Hungarian context, and demonstrated in their desire to bring revolutionary change to the country and create a new Jerusalem. The influence of Israel reaches its zenith with the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic led by Bela Kun, whose demise would bring an end to Israel's designs, at least for the time being.Written by French brothers and prolific authors Jerome and Jean Tharaud, this updated 1921 English translation of When Israel Is King is now being made widely available. Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to bring back this foundational work which tells the story of a small but brave land and its struggles, many of which echo ours today.
The fall of the Soviet Union was a defining event in world history. A swollen, decrepit empire burst apart and rained down despair, nihilism, and deep uncertainty on the Russian people. Overnight Russians were immediately exposed to the trials of secession, lawlessness, and economic depression. The resulting moment of weakness in their country caused multiple nations within the Russian Federation to attempt to break away. Many independence movements sprang up in Russia without any significant opposition. All of that came to an end when, in 1995, Russia regained her footing in the Caucasus to thwart a violent Chechen rebellion. Alexander Prokhanov lays bare the history and events surrounding New Year's Eve in 1995, when Russian troops attacked the Presidential Palace in the rebellious capital city of Grozny. In this one of a kind account, Prokhanov depicts the cruelty of unfeeling careerist bureaucrats who sent recruits to certain death, the cynicism of foreign bankers who made their dirty money from human tragedies, and through it all the honor and duty of Russian soldiers who gave their lives for a new Russia. Between the fiery muzzle flashes of their Kalashnikovs and the cold, hard sky of the Caucasus, these pages show the beginnings of a new chapter for Russia, and in many ways, the European world.Available for the first time to the English reader, Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Alexander Prokhanov's Chechen Blues. It is crucial to immortalize this unique first hand account in the printed word, to tell the tale of recent Russian history and the story of men who fought to preserve the integrity of their nation.
