THE well-known author, Yukio Mishima (1925–1970), remains one of the greatest figures in Japanese literature and was also an accomplished poet, actor, playwright and film director. Inspired by the traditional principles of the Samurai texts, Mishima was a fierce critic of post-1945 Japan and made the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs. On November 25th, 1970, shortly after completing his four-volume Sea of Fertility, Mishima and several other committed members of the Tatenokai, or Shield Society, stormed the commandant's office at the Self-Defence Forces headquarters in Tokyo and delivered a stirring speech to the assembled troops gathered beneath the balcony. Consequently, Japan's most famous and controversial personality committed ritual suicide (seppuku) and was immortalised forever. First published in 2012, this radical and uncompromising text - with some very welcome and surprising contributors - is sure to attract a great deal of interest at a time when making sacrifices for a principle higher than oneself is becoming something of a rarity.

Chapters include The Immortal Death of Mishima; Warrior of the Rising Sun; Mishima Contra Nihilism; Twentieth-Century Samurai; Discovering Mishima; Production Without Capital: Mishima's Lost World; Damn Japs: The People It's Okay to Hate; Mishima in 1968; and Hidden Among the Leaves: Yukio Mishima and Hagakure.

The contributors include Troy Southgate (Editor), Douglas P., Koichi Toyama, K. R. Bolton, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Wulf Ingessunu, Christopher Pankhurst, John Howells and Vijay Prozak.

ERNST Jünger (1895–1998), who lived a long and fulfilling life, became one of Germany's most admired literary figures. He is best remembered for his detailed memoirs as a lieutenant and commander in the First World War, a period which is forever immortalised in 'The Storm of Steel' (1920). Jünger, who was heavily decorated for his wartime exploits, was also a leading German intellectual and produced several philosophical novels, among them 'On the Marble Cliffs' (1939), 'Heliopolis' (1949), 'The Glass Bees' (1957), 'Eumeswil' (1977), 'Aladdin's Problem' (1983) and 'A Dangerous Encounter' (1985). Another dimension to Ernst Jünger was his interest in politics and a firm opposition to both democracy and liberalism. In association with men such as Oswald Spengler, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Ernst von Salomon, Carl Schmitt and Ernst Niekisch, he performed a leading role in the ranks of the Conservative Revolution. First published in 2012, the essays in this revised and reformatted volume are now in high demand. Chapters include Ernst Jünger: A Portrait of An Anarch; The Balkanization of the System: Ernst Jünger and the Endtimes; Jünger and the Third Reich; “Between the Gods and the Titans”; Ernst Jünger as an Icon of “the Fascist Style”: The Ideological and Biographical Implications; East & West: Ernst Jünger's Der gordische Knoten; and A Charmed Life: The Military Adventures of Ernst Jünger. The contributors include Troy Southgate, K.R. Bolton, Keith Preston, Tomislav Sunic, Elena Semenyaka, Dimitris Michalopoulos, Alain De Benoist and Julius Evola.

TWELVE years after its first appearence, Black Front Press has decided to republish a popular collection of speeches that were addressed to the London New Right between 2006 and 2011. The talks, which have been transcribed by some of those who were fortunate enough to attend the events prior to Jonathan's untimely death in March 2012, are informative, passionate, dynamic and often very funny, each revealing the full extent of the man's oratorical prowess, great intellectual bearing and ability to speak without notes on a whole range of cultural and philosophical topics. The speeches on offer in this superb collection include discussions on William Butler Yeats, Savitri Devi, Ezra Pound, Marxism and the Frankfurt School, George Orwell, Howard Phillips Lovecraft and Martin Heidegger. Here, for posterity, are Jonathan Bowden's inimitable thoughts and commentaries on some of the greatest figures of the modern age.
