Procrustes, Liberty, Equality, etc.

The late Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn was a great polymath and a heroic defender of the Old European Order.

The Ludwig von Mises Institute has quite recently made his The Menace of the Herd available as PDF and Print-On-Demand. So also Liberty or Equality. For quite some time Monarchy and War (PDF) has been available. The Mises Institute also has an audio recording of a lecture.

Operation Parracide is available at Culture Wars. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute also has an audio recording.

Democracy's Road to Tyranny seems to have gone with the libertyhaven.com site, but the Google cache version can be found here.
