The Empire on which the Black Sun Never Set: The Birth of International Fascism and Anglo-American Foreign Policy Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 50 ratings
See all formats and editions
How did fascism emerge as a 20th century phenomenon?

In what way is fascism united inexorably to the ancient systems of hereditary power that have manipulated humanity for millenia and how did these institutions shape the contours of recent history, both in the orchestration of World War 2 and in the reconstitution of fascist ideologues during the dark decades of the Cold War?

How are these processes shaping today's beleaguered world?

Perhaps most importantly, what insights do these historical lessons provide us in our current age to navigate through the storms threatening civilization once more?

These questions and more are answered in this first of two volumes by Cynthia Chung

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply Researched and Dense Book on Deep Politics!
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2022

Cynthia has written a large volume on many aspects of deep political history. She examines the philosophy of the Western and British elite who have always been interested in a fascist and totalitarian system of governance. They maintained links and collaboration with the Nazi regime. They sought power through supranational institutions such as the League of Nations and European Union.

She later gets into NATO, Operation Gladio, JFK and the CIA, and current events in Ukraine. An important contribution to parapolitical history!

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Valuable Research
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
I loved the detailed research in this book. The author traces a convincing line of global manipulation from late 19th Century Britain through today, and its effects on the course of America since WW2. The concept of international fascism alone makes this book worth reading. The work must have been a mammoth and heroic effort, for the many important concepts and vast historical documentation within it.

The major drawback is the book's readability. I hope a future edition will expand the layout's margins so that the print can actually utilize the size of the pages! As it is, the font is incredibly small. The flow of the narrative from chapter to chapter is also challenging, with a bit of repetition at times. I would like to hear more of the author's voice in the narrative, both to connect the disparate chapters more effectively and within an epilogue of sorts as to potential approaches to remedying these vast problems.

With all that said, this is a tremendous and important work for any truth seeker. I look forward to reading Chung's (and Ehret's) other works, in order to understand their viewpoints on alternative societal structures. (While modern China's BRI - and a multipolar world in general - seem to offer hope for sanity, how do we weigh THEIR totalitarian aspects?) But I digress. Read this book.
