A Frenchwoman of Greek-English birth, Devi became an admirer of German National Socialism in the late 1920s. Deeply impressed by its racial heritage and caste-system, she emigrated to India, where she developed her racial ideology, in the early 1930s. Her works have been reissued and distributed through various neo-Nazi networks and she has been lionized as a foremother of Nazi ideology. Her appeal to neo-Nazi sects lies in the very eccentricity of her thought--combining Aryan supremacism and anti-Semitism with Hinduism, social Darwinism, animal rights, and a fundamentally biocentric view of life--and has resulted in curious, yet potent alliances in radical ideology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As one of the earliest Holocaust deniers and the first to suggest that Adolf Hitler was an avatar--a god come to earth in human form to restore the world to a golden age--Devi became a fixture in the shadowy neo-Nazi world. In \u003ci\u003eHitler's Priestess\u003c\/i\u003e, Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke examines how someone with so little tangible connection to Nazi Germany became such a powerful advocate of Hitler's misanthropy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eHitler's Priestess\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the life of a woman who achieved the status of a prophetess for her penchant for redirecting authentic religious energies in the service of regenerate fascism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814731104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814731109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.24w x 0.96d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/13\/1998 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/1998 pg. 1400\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1998 pg. 116","brand":"Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120320835839,"sku":"9780814731109","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94bb8a29-0b6e-49ae-99d4-1173a7e9cb26.jpg?v=1687413695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hitlers-priestess-nicholas-goodrick-clarke-9780814731109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
