Sobre IBD

The traditional culture and civilisation of the West has never before been in such grave danger of being overwhelmed and cast aside. Equally imperilled is the Christian faith that has been its creative principle, its very soul. By a sad irony the greatest threat to the western tradition is in its heartland: wearied of our past we seek solace in meaninglessness. This book is a modest attempt to encourage those who are determined not only to resist the winds of change but to go on the offensive against them. It is an apologia for the Great Tradition.
