The Camp of the Saints
 

Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints
a raft of millions of Indians from the Calcutta slums heads towards the West and is embraced by France, ending in an "orgy of violence" (Slobodian's summation)
 
(published 1973; English translation published 1975, Scribners; reissued by white supremacist press Noontide Press, 1986, and American Immigation Control Foundation, 1987)
 
the book holds a "special place in the paleo[conservative] imagination" (67)
 
Lew Rockwell "claimed partial credit for the book's circulation in the United States in 1975
 
Murray Rothbard proposed "privatizing all land and infrastructure" (Slobodian's wording) as a solution to the "Camp of the Saints problem" (Rothbard's wording, 1993 speech "Decomposing the Nation-State")
 
the book would later go on to be "an alleged inspiration to [Trump's] advisers Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller" (66)
