Yockey wrote a more readable version of Spengler's "Death of the West." Yockey fumbled the physical portion of race as did Spengler except Spengler did it in such spectacular fashion he nearly ruined his whole work by adding a couple of paragraphs. Spengler quoted the research of Franz Boas which is like writing a book on "reason" by using the reasearch of witchdoctors. BTW Spengler wrote a pamphlet called "Technics" which if is read prior to his opus makes it all the more understandable.

ME:
Actually Ibn Khaldoun wrote the thesis of the rise and fall of civilizations about the fourteenth century. Those of us who discussed Yockey's book in the late 60s liked to refer to it as "Khaldounism," a pun John C. Calhoun, of course.
But despite our "in" jokes, we were the ones who promoted Yockey's Imperium. It has brillaint insights that one wants to paste on everybody's wall, and we had damned few writers on our side then.
I've tried Spengler in English, I've tried Spengler in German, and I have tried it in a yoga position upside-down. Yokey is much shorter and infinitely better.
