Description:
First edition of Savitri Devi’s Defiance, published in Calcutta by A.K. Mukherji, her husband, in 1950.

She portrays her fellow prisoners, many of them convicted Nazi war criminals, as admirable, and gives accounts of their lives under the Third Reich. It was published here privately in a small edition. Devi herself is now known for her work on esoteric-Hitlerlism, a bizarre attempt to attached eastern religion to Nazism.
