George Lincoln Rockwell (1918-1967) was that rarest of individuals: a man who embodied intelligence, wisdom, integrity, and courage. He was, in every sense of the word, a great communicator and a great leader. He harbored a vision of greatness for the White race, and he did everything in his power to realize that goal. Had he not been cut down by an assassin's bullet at the age of 49, he might have brought that vision well along the road to fruition.
White Power is exceptional in that it effectively and unabashedly calls out the two main threats to White well-being: Blacks and Jews. As the 'bottom rung' of Western society, blacks pose a crude, primitive, but direct threat, through physical violence, laziness, crime, and race-mixing. As the 'rulers' of society, Jews present a more subtle but ultimately more poisonous danger; they undermine the very self-consciousness and self-purpose of the White race. Sandwiched between these dual dangers, Whites are being crushed, demoralized, impoverished, and spiritually drained.
The solution to this grave problem, said Rockwell, lay in Hitler's National Socialism. At its core, this ideology argued that life is struggle, that race matters, and that one's enemies must be dealt with harshly and directly. Though in place for only 12 short years, German National Socialism showed what could be done with vision, focus, and determination; Germany rose from the depths of despair to world power. Hitler proved what could be done with a White race that followed the 'Natural Order' of the world.
In the starkest of terms, and pulling no punches, Rockwell calls for another spiritual and emotional renaissance of the White race, to resume its natural role as leader of global humanity. Only by ruthlessly identifying the enemy, said Rockwell, can we summon the will and the courage to act.
Never before has anyone produced such a blunt and unapologetic defense of the White race. This will be the standard by which all such future books are measured.
