She reconstructs his life and career as a British Army officer, and sheds light on the ideologies he expressed in works that have long since been sidelined by the media and scholars. Among his claims were that the writing of Indus Valley (still undeciphered) was Sumerian, and that the Icelandic Elder Edda reveals the ancient Aryan makers of civilization. The story he told recounts the Aryan quest, the rise of man, and the second garden of Sumeria. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
