From the introduction: The year is 1565. On the island of Malta, 600 Knights of St. John, commanding a force of some 8000 men, prepare to defend their island fortress from attack. Don John of Austria, the bastard son of the king of Spain, was stirred by the danger. Despite his youth, and his modest standing, Don John sent out urgent appeals and eventually gathered a sturdy fleet, outfitted with new warfare technologies invented in the West and rapidly mass-produced by the fledgling ship-building and armament firms of what was later to be called “Western capitalism.” He gathered fleets from Venice and Genoa, from Spain, and from the Knights of Malta. In a deliberately preemptive strike, blessed by the Pope, this small fleet set sail to catch the Turkish armada before it left the waters of Greece. There is even more to this story. You see, Don John was willing to act while everyone else stood back. Almost singlehanded, Don John united a diverse armada of numerous European nationalities into a united force with a single goal; a feat seldom achieved in spite of Europe’s perceived religious unity. Don John died at the age of thirty one, probably from typhus, and was called “Europe’s Last Knight.” But his spirit lives on in European Americans United, an organization comprised of individuals, each of whom manifest many of the traits demonstrated by Don John of Austria, including adherence to a code of ethics with which he would have been quite familiar.To this extent, the men and women of European Americans United can be metaphorically seen as the modern equivalent of the Knights of St. John, commanding the forces at the Battle of Lepanto. Frank Roman and John Young are two of the three directors of European Americans United. Along with the third director and other core members, they are seasoned European- American activists; and they’ve been on the front lines of the battle at the gateway to European-America. They see this battle as having many similarities with the Battle of Lepanto including the fact that if it is lost, the floodgates of the Third World will lock open forever and the distinctiveness of all European peoples will be lost, wherever they may live. Each chapter of this book is a singular essay by both men. Some of these essays come straight from their podcasts and other articles, some are substantially modified in order to take into account the different format, and some exist only in this volume. The last chapter is dedicated to G.K. Chesterton’s poem “Lepanto,” a stirring composition.the perspective of two commanders on the same side. And like those who committed themselves to fighting the enemy on the high seas, so too do they invite you to fight on behalf of our people upon the unpredictable tides of political and social intrigue. In an important sense, these “letters” can be seen as the account of a pivotal battle whose resolution is yet unknown from Our racial ancestors from across Europe – your ancestors – did not know the outcome as they dropped their internecine differences and faced those who wished to annihilate them in such a dangerous environment. But they went forward nonetheless and embraced victory. If this battle is won with your help, then the content of this volume will be historically valuable to our posterity. If this battle is lost, there will be no posterity for our people. Staff, European Americans United Book here
