G. L. Rockwell Unmasked!,
By Michael Y (Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Time The World (Paperback)
This autobiography is a bit slow to get into but once Rockwells life reaches maturity it is a fascinating read. This is a story of an extremely complex character who spends his life fighting odds he cannot beat (as he says in his own words!) As he matures from a young idealistic US Navy pilot in WW2 to an open Nazi in 1950's USA is quite a change, but his love for the truth and his country force him to take this path, as he believes its the only way to battle the Communist and Jewish traitors in the USA. His hardships in his later life and bitter experience of learning never to trust anyone shows how honest his heart was. A flawed man but possibly the first to talk of the necessity of world wide cooperation amongst the white peoples of all nations.

Doogie,
By
This review is from: This Time The World (Paperback)
A remarkably readable autobiography, following the entire life of George Lincoln Rockwell up until the publication of his first seminal work. This offers a unique insight into the character and nature of the man and the stirrings of his political/social awareness. I would consider this book one of my top five. Hard to find, and well worth the read. Do NOT make the mistake of judging him without his story in his own words. If you have read White Power, then this title is indispensible.

Riotous!,
By John Yeohough (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Time The World (Paperback)
George Lincoln Rockwell's THIS TIME THE WORLD is a riot - often quite literally. Slap-dash in outward appearance (it was assembled and published on a shoestring budget) TTTW is actually a very well written autobiography of Rockwell from his youth up to the heady days of the fledgling American Nazi Party which he formed in the late 1950s/early 1960s in Arlington, VA. TTTW first came into my hands when I was living in Arlington in the 1980s. The late Rockwell's American Nazi Party, by then re-named "New Order" and reformed into a esoteric quasi-religious group, was still a local presence, although much less politically active than when Rockwell was at the helm. Rockwell's influence could still be felt in Arlington even sixteen years after his demise and many of the locals still remembered him. The site of his death, a strip mall parking lot, was a bit of a local attraction and a faded swastika painted on the asphalt marked the exact spot where he fell (the swastika is now long gone although the strip mall still remains).
No matter how you may feel about Rockwell, it is hard not to like the writer of this book who often achieves the remarkable feat of being egotistical in a endearingly self-effacing way. Because of his convictions Rockwell lost his home, his full Navy retirement pension, his wife, his children, his friends, and everything else he held dear, including his own life. Right or wrong, that sort of dedication is remarkable. Love him or hate him, if you believe in freedom of speech, you'll learn that Rockwell did more to challenge the First Amendment than any other 20th century American and he did it with the gusto of a carnival midway barker... all while making a lot of people violently outraged.
