Francis Parker Yockey, a lawyer and former war-crimes prosecutor, was one of the most enigmatic figures inside the far right in both Europe and America. While he is best known today for his book Imperium, a huge tome often described as a Mein Kampf for modern-day neo-Nazis, his life remains a mystery. Pursued by the U.S. Government for almost a decade, Yockey was arrested by the FBI in 1960. Shortly after his capture, he was found dead in his jail cell. An autopsy showed that the 43-year old mystery man had swallowed a cyanide capsule. Yockeys story takes us into the heart of the postwar Fascist International, a shadow Reich composed of spies, conspirators, and occultists.

Review

"This study is a treasure chamber for all those interested in the ideology of the heirs of fascism and Nazism in Europe and America, of National bolshevism, Odinism, various occult sects of the extreme right, and the groups which tried to provide a synthesis between the extreme left wing and far-right thought" -- Walter Laquer, author of THE BLACK HUNDRED: THE RISE OF THE EXTREME RIGHT IN RUSSIA, and FASCISM: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

Impressive and fascinating, with only a handful of flaws

July 11, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A much weightier and more thorough biography than one has a right to expect from a fairly unknown writer who is not sympathetic to the subject. Coogan is particularly good in his survey of the geopolitical writers and philosophers who influenced the young Yockey in his college years (e.g., Haushofer, Mackinder, Schmitt, and of course Spengler). Much of the meat of the book is effectively a collaboration between Coogan and Yockey's old friend H. Keith Thompson, who was always generous with his time and anecdotes.

There are some dubious spots in Coogan's narrative, which would have been easily remedied if he had had access to the sort of online databases we are familiar with today via Ancestry, etc. For example, Coogan argues that Yockey's putative grandfather, the German-born Valentin Yocky/Jacky could not have been Yockey's grandfather because the old man's gravestone says he died in 1883, while Yockey's dad wasn't born until 1886. Censuses, draft registrations, and consular records mostly state that Yockey's father Louis was born in May 1883. Additionally Coogan couldn't discover why Louis Yockey and his family were living in Europe before World War I. He describes Louis as a stockbroker, but at the time Louis was actually an employee of the American Radiator Company's overseas branches in Paris and Brussels. The family returned to America in 1915.

Another fuzzy bit: Coogan conflates the person of Mrs Virginia Allen (Harry Benjamin's office manager) with Mrs Virginia Johnson, who supposedly ran off with Yockey from Baltimore to New York in 1951. Did Yockey indeed have two girlfriends around the name time, both named Virginia? I don't know whether they were one and the same person, but in a 1986 interview H. Keith Thompson denied that they were. There is a forthcoming biography of Yockey; perhaps this will clear the matter up.

I never looked at this book till recently, since I supposed it was merely unfriendly and error-laden. I was interviewed for it by the author back in 1993, but thankfully am not mentioned in Acknowledgments. I had little new to contribute other than some bits and pieces that the author left out. Fortunately, Mr Thompson and the others mentioned therein were very informative.

Comment

A compelling look at one of the strangest characters you'll ever meet.

December 31, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a fantastic look at a little-known but influential neo-fascist and the whole movement of which he was a part.

The cast of characters is large and fascinating: in addition to the mysterious Yockey himself, we meet Baron Julius Evola, mystic and devotee of violence; H. Keith Thompson, American agent for Hitler's Germany and its would-be successors; George Sylvester Viereck, poet, novelist, bisexual, and propagandist for Germany in both world wars; the the postwar Nazi underground in Latin America, Germany, and the Middle East; and many more.

I first came across Yockey as a college student almost fifty years ago. I found his major work, Imperium, almost unreadable, the product of a second- or third-rate Spengler. Dedicated to "The hero of the Second World War" (take a guess; it's not Churchill) and permeated with a virulent but not racial antisemitism (Yockey was a pioneer in Holocaust denial), I was both appalled and puzzled that an American could write such a book and that it had an audience that resonated to its message. Now, all these years later, I almost understand.

Bravo, Mr. Coogan.

New Age of Barbarism

Nazi Occultists, Illuminists, and Superspies.

January 24, 2002

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

_Dreamer of the Day_ is much more than simply a biography of the neoNazi Francis Parker Yockey, it contains an abundance of material, resource information, and footnotes for all those who are interested in the obscure forces moving the fringe political reaches where the radical right meets the radical left. Yockey, who dedicated his book _Imperium_ to "the Hero of the Second World War", was a mysterious individual who was taken in one day by the FBI and just as mysteriously died. Kevin Coogan tells this story of the supergenius mystery man who set out to create a European Imperium uniting forces from the far left and far right. But, more than that, this book contains entire sections on such heroes as Oswald Spengler and Julius Evola. In fact, the book is chock full of information on the secret forces behind Yockeyism, far right politics, neoNazism, and everything from Satanism and death metal music to Russian fascists. You won't be disappointed, and although you may spend several late nights reading intently, you will certainly be entertained.
