Written over 40 years ago, Jean Raspail faced a torrent of resistance for this exceptional novel and upon first reading it is easy to understand why. His thesis of masses of people immigrating from the third world into Europe without invitation triggers fear within us and our Christian based ethos will not permit us to view the inevitability of this invasion as anything but deserved. Europeans and Americans suffer from a guilt that although may be well deserved will undermine our ability to protect our lands from unwanted immigration. Raspail does not flinch in defining our weaknesses as guilt ridden former colonial powers and those strengths of the formerly colonized, namely that they have nothing to lose and feel entitled to a type of restitution for their centuries of servitude. The most poignant question the book asks the reader is do we have the courage to defend our borders at any costs? Looking at current world events, the boatloads of people attempting to cross the Mediterranean from Africa, millions crossing overland from the Middle East, and the countless hordes dying to cross into America from the southern hemisphere, I can only conclude that we in the West will do nothing to stem the flow of immigration. Our defunct Christian legacy has only left us with a displaced remorse and we will perish because of it. This is my second reading and it stunned me more than it did five years ago. We are on the precipice of catastrophe, global warming and incessant wars will only drive more desperate people to the West and we have proven ourselves powerless to stop it. Raspail is not concerned with being politically correct, he is a truth teller, maybe better described as a writer of horror fiction.

Racist Paranoia in Sheep's Clothing
Some three decades ago, in 1973, Jean Raspail, in a declaration of his allegiance to the White race, sounded the alarm that European culture and society were in danger of being overrun by hoards of non-White persons from India (representing persons from this and other Third World nations). This prophecy, set to occur "in the near future," has not materialized; nevertheless, this theme continues to be rehashed, most notably by the Rev. Patrick Buchanan in "Death of the West."
Mr. Raspail argues that multiculturalism and multiracialism have undermined European (White) culture and society. Freakish characters make such comments as, "There's not one of you proud of his skin, and all that it stands for..." and "Already they saw it their mission to guide the flock's first steps on Western soil. One would empty out all our hospital beds so that cholera-ridden and leprous wretches could sprawl between the clean white sheets. Another would cram our brightest, cheeriest nurseries full of monster children. Another would preach unlimited sex, in the name of one, single race of the future..." or even "Black would be Black, White would be White. There was no changing either, except by a total mix into tan."
Many reviewers have praised The Camp of the Saints for its literary qualities. Good writing, however, does not preclude evil intentions. These grotesque racist rants speak for themselves.
