Convergence of Catastrophes

Guillaume Faye analyses the many crises currently facing Western civilisation, in terms of the environment, immigration, terrorism, pandemics, and others, and sees a point approaching when all of them will combine to overturn the present order. This, Faye argues, will be a disaster, but at the same time an opportunity for the regeneration of our culture. This edition includes an exclusive Foreword by Jared Taylor of American Renaissance.
