Julius Evola was a renowned Dadaist artist; Idealist philosopher; critic of politics and Fascism; 'mystic;' anti-modernist; and scholar of world religions. Evola was all of these things; but he saw each of them as no more than stops along the path to life's true goal: the realisation of oneself as a truly absolute and free individual living one's life in accordance with the eternal doctrines of the Primordial Tradition. Much more than an autobiography; The Cinnabar Path in describing the course of Evola's life illuminates how the traditionally-oriented individual might avoid the many pitfalls awaiting him in the modern world. More a record of Evola's thought process than a recitation of biographical facts; one will here find the distilled essence of a lifetime spent in pursuit of wisdom; in what is surely one of his most important works.

Luftwaffe Transports in Action; Part 2!By Mike O'ConnorMartin Pegg wraps up his coverage of the Luftwaffe's transport arm with this nicely done volume published in 2006. Like Volume One it's a comprehensive; well-illustrated history of the brave but chronically overstretched aircraft and aircrews servicing Third Reich units in all theaters of war.The years after the Stalingrad defeat were characterized by transport units shuffling back and forth as aerial fire brigades; supplying and shoring up German defenses in Russia; North Africa; etc. There were never enough transports; especially after the crippling losses over Crete; Stalingrad; etc. and the Germans were constantly cobbling together ad hoc units to ferry needed reinforcements; ammunition; fuel and other supplies to crisis points. Given the wide canvas Pegg has to cover; he does a good job of summarizing all this activity.The text is illustrated with over 200 black white and color photographs; maps and diagrams. Twelve nicely done color profiles by Estanislau; Brown and Tullis depict the wide variety of aircraft used by Luftwaffe aircrews including the 'Tante Ju;' He 111; SM.73; SM.82; and the gargantuan Me 323.Classic Colours is to be commended for producing TRANSPORTERS. The missions flown by those intrepid crews might have been unglamorous in comparison to those logged by FW 190 pilots; for example; but they were just as deadly to fly. When all is said; Luftwaffe transport aircraft were the lifeblood of the German war machine and their story has been well told in these two volumes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great readBy scott baileyVolume one shows the transport fleet in action supporting many offensive operation; but this volume shows the reader the many airlift operation conducted by these units. The different aircraft used and the units that used them is covered. The little know re-supply operation are covered. I was surprise that these unit continued opersting up to the end of the war and the amount of caargo airlifted by these units.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. "Tante Ju" and her adventures in the last battlesBy Igors KarpovsMartin Pegg is one of my favourite authors on Luftwuaffe units history. The Volume 2 of his earlier work "Transporter Volume One: Luftwaffe Transport Units 1937-1943" throws us in the firestorm of the last battles of the World War II. Day-by-day sorties; operational situation; loses and victories - you will find it all in this book. Some of the topics are: Operations in Mediterranean region 1942-1943; Tactical markings; Transport sorties on the Southern Sector in the Eastern Front; Evacuation of the Crimea (very important!); Operation Rosselsprung (Attentat on Tito); Balkans and Aegean; Allied Invasion in North-West Europe; Eastern Front 1944-1945 etc. So the the scene is created. Thus Luftwaffe fans will receive their satisfaction.
