Resources

The traditionalRIGHT staff wish to provide resources and list essential reading material for the Traditionalist in the modern age.

Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Marine Corps Field Manuals

These FMs were written by a series of seminars on 4GW which Mr. Lind led before his retirement, mostly made up of US Marine Corps officers. Why were they issued by the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Marine Corps? Because they could not write official manuals for the US Marine Corps, and also because, as anyone on the traditional right should understand, it is important to keep the old empires alive, even if only as shadows.

“The Canon” is a series of books that, if read in the proper order, take the reader from the First Generation of modern war into the Fourth. The books are listed below, but a synopsis of each can be found using the button below.
