Critics Review

”[A] superb study… . Goodrick-Clarke has done a service to sanity, even if the gullible will go on swallowing [Devi’s] recycled poison rather than his antidote.” -Times Literary Supplement

”[A] superb study… Goodrick-Clarke has done a service to sanity, even if the gullible will go on swallowing [Devi’s] recycled poison rather than his antidote.” –Times Literary Supplement “An excellent, thought-provoking volume… We may readily accept that Devi was a revolting creature. But it is as well that we realise that such demons in human form existed and still do exist.” –Independent “An admirably cool-headed history of an inflammatory subject… It is likely to stand as the definitive study of a subject that a lesser author would have exploited for maximum sensationalism.” –Gnosis “An engrossing, disturbing, and important book. Well-researched and evocatively told, the strange story of Savitri Devi is a mirror of the twentieth century’s dark undercurrents and deserves to be widely read and pondered.” –Robert S. Ellwood, University of Southern California “[A] provoking volume.” –Bulletin of the Arnold and Leona Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research, No. 10
