Publisher's Synopsis
The Dissident Review is proud to present Volume II: Frontiers.
Including eleven outstanding essays, Volume II addresses the controversial concept of the frontier throughout history. From the Bronze Age to the Space Race, the essays in this edition capture the spirit of the explorer, the pioneer, and the conqueror. The conflicts that arise at the edge of civilization are examined, as well as the larger-than-life figures who pursue such a crucible. Conquistadors, Founding Fathers, and anti-communist mercenaries are among the men who made their mark in such an environment. Volume II provides a new perspective on them - and more. About The Dissident Review: Today, the past is controlled by an academic elite which has abandoned its purpose - the search for truth, and the expansion of human knowledge. Instead, fanatics run our institutions of learning, and they have replaced truth with ideology. Dissent is not permitted in their journals. The Dissident Review changes that. Our mission is to publish controversial, banned, and subversive historical research. We require no credentials and publish solely based on merit - because self-education, led by love of what you study, is the only education that matters. We aim to cultivate that education, and give a voice to the massive untapped talent that exists outside of academia.
