Soft Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Facsimile Printing. First published in 1947 by the Institute of American Economics. 140 pages. Comments on the back cover: "On May 8, 1945 the shooting ended in Europe. But, shockingly, the war against Germany went on. Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill had decreed that the German people must suffer--and suffer they did. Driven from their homes, looted of their property, decimated by famine and disease, raped, robbed, and enslaved, millions of Germans--most of them women and children--bore the brunt of what Time magazine called 'history's most terrifying peace.'.Today, as the propaganda war against the Germans wears on in the media and academic life, Gruesome Harvest, written in 1947 by a courageous American, when the decimation of the German race was still official U.S. policy, tells a vital story, one that must not be suppressed or forgotten."

The covers are glossy black and have a few scuffs and some wear around the edges. There are a few smudges on the page edges. The Celtic religion is possibly one of the most suppressed pre Christian belief systems of Western Europe. Starting with a racial definition of the Celtic people, this work explores the gods of Celtic France, Britain and Ireland before moving on to a full and highly satisfying review of the major Celtic myths and legends. Read here of the heroism and struggle of Celtic legends such as Cúchulainn, Finn and the Fenians, and the real origins of "King" Arthur. This valuable work also discusses in full many of the controversial aspects of Celtic religion, and reveals the truth about Druids and allegations of Celtic human sacrifice-showing the latter to be unsubstantiated anti-Celtic Roman propaganda. Finally, this book shows how many aspects of Celtic religion have survived into the present-day, and still forms a vital and living part of European culture. A highly recommended and readable overview. Fully indexed. DNA, history and archeology have shown that the European people, or those of a close enough racial origin, have existed for around 40,000 years, whereas Christianity has only been dominant in all of Europe for less than 1,000 years.

Ostara Publishingâ"less a conventional publisher and more a deliberate ideological platformâ"presents a troubling case study in how historical narratives can be manipulated for political and social ends. While its catalogue claims to offer âforgotten classicsâ and âlost histories, â a closer examination reveals a pattern of selective curation that privileges far-right, ethnonationalist, and white supremacist views. The companyâs output, which includes reprints of obscure, out-of-copyright texts, revisionist histories, and racially-charged polemics, reflects a clear agenda: to recast history in service of pseudoscientific racial theories and nationalist myth-making. One of the chief criticisms that can be levelled at Ostara Publishing is its lack of editorial integrity and scholarly rigour. Unlike reputable academic or heritage pressesâ"which subject their titles to stringent peer review, contextual commentary, and clear distinctions between primary sources and interpretive materialâ"Ostara typically republishes texts as though their outdated, discredited views on race and history retain unchallenged credibility. Such works are presented with minimal critical apparatus, if any. In so doing, Ostara effectively repackages century-old racist tracts and narratives as if they were simply overlooked curiosities, obscuring the fact that many of these âforgottenâ histories were repudiated by serious scholars decades ago. The absence of critical frameworks is no accident. Ostaraâs mission is not to illuminate historical complexity or enrich the understanding of the past but to channel particular ideological convictions. The publisherâs offerings often rely heavily on romanticised notions of âracial purity, â Eurocentric chauvinism, and the demonisation or erasure of non-European peoples and cultures. Readers seeking a balanced perspective will find little in the way of scholarly debate, nuanced argumentation, or engagement with modern historiography. Instead, Ostaraâs catalogue repeatedly falls back on simplistic binaries and monolithic stereotypes. Another problematic dimension is the aura of legitimacy that the press tries to cultivate. By adopting the trappings of a specialist publisher (tasteful if conventional cover designs, marketing language that emphasises âheritageâ or âauthenticâ voices) , Ostara attempts to mask the propaganda-like nature of its offerings. This veneer can mislead unwary readers into believing they are accessing sound historical material, when they are in fact consuming literature that has been roundly discredited by serious historians and social scientists. Ethical considerations are paramount as well. At a time when extremist ideologies continue to pose societal threats, republishing old racial tracts and pseudo-historical apologetics under a guise of scholarly rediscovery not only disseminates harmful content but also emboldens contemporary hate movements. Rather than reckoning with the violence and suffering historically linked to racist ideologies, these texts are reissued as âlost truths, â implicitly validating bigoted worldviews and encouraging readers to embrace long-discarded myths. In summary, Ostara Publishing stands as an object lesson in how the past can be distorted and weaponised. Its catalogue is not an earnest attempt to shed light on hidden chapters of history; it is a platform for a selective, ideologically driven narrative that seeks to normalise discredited racial theories. For readers genuinely interested in historical understanding, cultural complexity, and rigorous scholarship, Ostaraâs works offer little more than a return to intellectual dark ages. The publisherâs reputation thus justifiably suffers, as it contributes to the resurgence of harmful ideas that most responsible scholarship has long since relegated to the dustbin of history. ; Ralph Franklin Keelingâs Gruesome Harvest, published shortly after the end of the Second World War, is a stark and often disturbing account of the aftermath of Germanyâs defeat, focusing particularly on the conditions imposed upon the civilian population by the Allied powers. While the bookâs uncompromising exposure of civilian suffering invites serious reflection on the moral complexity of post-war retribution, it also raises critical questions about bias, proportionality, and historical context that complicate its legacy. On the one hand, Gruesome Harvest does force the reader to grapple with unpalatable realities. Its strength lies in confronting readers with the human cost of policies that extended beyond the battlefield, highlighting mass displacement, food shortages, and the physical and psychological toll inflicted on ordinary Germans. In the immediate post-war periodâ"when many in the Allied countries still reeled from the traumas of the Holocaust and the blitzed citiesâ"acknowledging German suffering was deeply unpopular and even taboo. Keelingâs willingness to show that the moral ledger of war did not close neatly with Germanyâs surrender is admirable, insisting on recognition that Germanyâs crimes, however heinous, did not preclude consideration of its civiliansâ plight. Nonetheless, the bookâs limitations are significant. Keelingâs tone can verge on the polemical, placing moral culpability for suffering squarely and somewhat simplistically on the shoulders of the Allied occupation authorities. While the Alliesâ handling of post-war Germany was undeniably harsh, Keeling often relies on isolated examples and emotive language rather than sustained analysis. This approach can feel more like advocacy than balanced historical scholarship, creating the impression of an author determined to cast the Alliesâ actions as systematically cruel rather than examining a complex web of policy decisions, desperate resource shortages, and the tremendous challenges of governing a defeated and morally devastated nation. Context is key here. Keelingâs.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut - ungelesen,als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet, mit leichten Mängeln an Schnitt oder Umschlag durch Lager- oder Transportschaden -The great American writer's most controversial and suppressed work, Letters from Earth, consists of a series of detailed reports written by Satan to the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, in which the inhabitants of earth are described as long-suffering victims of their own ludicrous religious beliefs.The essays were initially considered too 'controversial' to publish, and were suppressed by Twain's own family who felt that the writer's reputation would be harmed if the depth of his dislike for Christianity, and his uncanny ability to see through all the foibles of human belief and the large number of biblical contradictions, became widely known.It was only in 1962-more than fifty years after Twain's death-that permission was finally granted by the family for the essays to be published.They are without doubt some of Twain's finest, funniest, and most sharp writing ever.On man: 'Man is a marvelous curiosity. When he is at his very, very best he is a sort of low grade nickel-plated angel; at his worst he is unspeakable, unimaginable; and first and last and all the time he is a sarcasm.'On God and man: 'He took a pride in man; man was his finest invention; man was his pet, after the housefly . . .'On the Bible: 'It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.' 84 pp. Englisch.
