Anyone who remembers the devastation wrought by Nazi fanaticism can only be astonished and dismayed by this book. Who could have foreseen that half a century after the defeat of the Third Reich the jews would once again be perceived as a demonic power intent on destroying the 'Aryan race', or that Hitler would be imagined as a divine being who is about to return to earth to complete the Holocaust? For the matter, who could have foreseen that the preposterous 'pagan' cult developed by Heinrich Himmler would ever be revived?

Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke shows not only that these things have indeed happened but how and why they have happened. He also suggests what dangers they may portend. Black Sun is both an enthralling and a deeply disturbing work. It deserves the most serious attention - and a wide readership. - Norman Cohn, author of The Pursuit of the Millennium and Warrant for Genocide.

Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke has done pioneering work in the field of the occult roots of Nazism. In the present volume he performs the same invaluable service with regard to the ideological fantasies of post war neo fascism. -Walter Laqueur

More than half a century after the defeat of Nazism and fascism, the far right is again challenging the liberal order of Western democracies. Radical movements are feeding on anxiety about economic globalization, affirmative action, and third-world immigration, flashpoint issues to many traditional groups in multicultural societies. A curious mixture of Aristocratic paganism, anti-Semitic demonology, Eastern philosophies and the occult is influencing populist antigovernment sentiment and helping to exploit the widespread fear that invisible elites are shaping world events.

Black Sun examines the new neofascist ideology, showing how hate groups, militias and conspiracy cults attempt to gain influence. Based on interviews and extensive research into underground groups, Black Sun documents the new Nazi and fascist sects that have sprung up from the 1970s through the 1990s and examines the mentality and motivation of these far-right extremists. The result is a detailed, grounded portrait of the mythical and devotional aspects of Hitler cults among Aryan mystics, racist skinheads and Nazi satanists, Heavy Metal music fans, and in occult literature.

Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke offers a unique perspective on far right neo-Nazism viewing it as a new form of Western religious heresy. He paints a frightening picture of a religion with its own relics, rituals, prophecies and an international sectarian following that could, under the proper conditions, gain political power and attempt to realize its dangerous millenarian fantasies.

任何记得纳粹狂热主义所造成的破坏的人，都只能对这本书感到惊讶和沮丧。谁能预见到在第三帝国战败的半个世纪后，犹太人会再次被视为意图毁灭 "雅利安人种 "的恶魔力量，或者希特勒会被想象成即将重返人间完成大屠杀的神圣存在？就此事而言，谁能预见到海因里希-希姆莱发展的荒谬的'异教徒'邪教会被重新激活？

尼古拉斯-古德里克-克拉克（Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke）不仅表明这些事情确实发生过，而且表明它们是如何以及为什么发生的。他还提出了这些事情可能预示着什么危险。黑太阳》既是一部令人着迷的作品，也是一部令人深感不安的作品。它值得最认真的关注--以及广泛的读者群。- 诺曼-科恩（Norman Cohn），《千年的追求》和《种族灭绝的证据》的作者。

尼古拉斯-古德里克-克拉克在纳粹主义的神秘根源领域做了开创性的工作。在本卷中，他对战后新法西斯主义的意识形态幻想进行了同样的宝贵服务。沃尔特-拉奎尔

在纳粹主义和法西斯主义被打败的半个多世纪后，极右势力再次挑战西方民主国家的自由秩序。激进的运动以对经济全球化、平权行动和第三世界移民的焦虑为食，这些都是多元文化社会中许多传统群体的热点问题。贵族异教、反犹太恶魔学、东方哲学和神秘学的奇怪混合体正在影响民粹主义的反政府情绪，并帮助利用人们对隐形精英正在塑造世界事件的普遍恐惧。

黑太阳》研究了新的新法西斯主义意识形态，展示了仇恨团体、民兵和阴谋邪教如何试图获得影响。基于采访和对地下组织的广泛研究，《黑太阳》记录了从1970年代到1990年代兴起的新纳粹和法西斯教派，并研究了这些极右翼极端分子的心态和动机。其结果是对雅利安神秘主义者、种族主义光头党和纳粹撒旦主义者、重金属音乐爱好者以及神秘主义文学中的希特勒邪教的神话和奉献方面进行了详细的、有根据的描述。

尼古拉斯-古德里克-克拉克对极右新纳粹主义提供了一个独特的视角，将其视为西方宗教异端的一种新形式。他描绘了一幅可怕的画面：一个拥有自己的遗物、仪式、预言和国际宗派追随者的宗教，在适当的条件下，可以获得政治权力并试图实现其危险的千禧年幻想。
