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

The empire on which the black sun never sets
The
Is is the most informative book on the reality of how much influence that British imperialists have over the American government, or more accurately the secret government. This volume explains why the world is in the
shape it now finds itself. I enjoyed it very much, and I read as much of Cynthia, and matts work as I can find.

This book is a deep dive into the annals of history to reveal the forces at work behind the scenes to craft the world we currently live in. Cynthia does a great job citing the work of others and using primary sources to explain her valuable interpretation of a history that is often left untold. Her interpretation is not without bias, yet it is a bias with which I mostly agree.
Some highlights:
A history of the CIA's efforts to undermine Ukrainian sovereignty since WW2 and spread Russophobia by supporting extremist ideologies.
A history of British influence in the Arab world, including an examination of the motivations behind the Balfour Declaration and the creation of Israel.
An exposition of Malthusian groups such as Alfred Milner's The Round Table Movement.
There's so much more. It's quite a dense book. I loved it.
