Why anybody would even want to read this book by peter Levenda (also 
known under penname Simon, under which he concocted a hoax version of 
the infamous and non-existent 'Necornomicon') when there are the serious 
and learned books by Goodrick-Clarke (Occult Roots of Nazism), Joscelyn 
Godwin (Arktos the Polar Myth) and James Webb (The Occult Underground 
and The Occult Establishment) or the studies by Ellic Howe (Rudolf von 
Sebottendorf, Urania's Children), is beyond me.

If one wants to read erreoneous, highly fictionalised and having no 
basis at all in verifiable history second grade lecture, one could also 
easily read Dusty Sklar's, Jean-Michel Angeberts, Trevor Ravenscrofts or 
Pauwels and Bergiers books on the theme of Nazism and the occult. 
Needless to say that these books are not scholarly at all.
