Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2007

A Profoundly Serious Examination of Mass Man, "Progress" and Disaster
Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (1909-1999)was one of the few thoughful men who carefully diagnosed what was wrong with mass decomracy and the political adoration of mass men. Mr. Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (K-L for the sake of convenience)clearly saw what ...

Weltweite Kirche. Begegnungen und Erfahrungen in sechs Kontinenten 1909-1999.
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Christiana-Verlag, 2000

Democracy revisited

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Intercollegiate Society of Individualists, 1962

Essence of K-L
This little brochure, produced by the ISI in 1962, is a good short introduction to key elements of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's thought, and a nice scavenger-hunt item for anyone trying, as I am, to read as much K-L as he can get his hands on. But if you can't manage to ...

Liberty or Equality: Fortieth Anniversary Edition, 1952-1992

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Christendom Press, 1993

Esoteric, but very intelligent and well written
For those with a libertarian bent looking for something to challenge their fundamental assumptions about liberty and democracy, I highly recommend this book. Kuehnelt-Leddihn separates the values of liberty fr om democracy, laying out a detailed, well reasoned argument ...

The intelligent American's guide to Europe

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Arlington House, 1979

Three weeks isn't enough!
After years of unsuccessfully trying to track down a copy of this book to purchase, I finally had the sense to try inter-library loan. That secured the book for me, but only for three weeks. And it wasn't enough! That's because this book is, in many ways, typical ...

The menace of the herd: Or, Procrustes at large (Studies in conservative philosophy)

Francis Stuart Campbell, Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Gordon Press, 1978

Another K-L title to return to again and again
I'm a big, big fan -- I should say, a devoted student -- of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (1909-1999), author of a great many articles and books, including Liberty or Equality: The Challenge of Our Times and Leftism Revisited: From De Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot, ...

The Timeless Christian

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Franciscan Pr, 1976

Amid the tough reading, some K-L gems
I've read a fair number of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's English-language books and articles, and I readily admit that "The Timeless Christian" was for me the least accessible of any of them. It may be because I'm not a Catholic -- or, more precisely, because I wasn't a ...

Black Banners

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Caxton Printers, 1954

Lerne leiden ohne zu klagen
"Black Banners" is the fourth and final of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn's novels to have been written in, or translated into, English. Published in 1954, it has many thematic similarities to his earlier works. The plot, however, is very different. For one thing, there's ...

The problem of frontiers in postwar Europe

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Fordham University, 1945

More interesting for theory than for its predictive value
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn published this article in the March, 1945 edition of "Thought," a quarterly publication of Fordham University. In it, he presents his conclusions on good versus bad borders between nations, and analyses a range of political, ethnic, ...
