Defiance:
The Prison Memoirs of Savitri Devi

Savitri Devi

San Francisco: Counter-Currents, 2021

416 pages

Edited by R. G. Fowler

The Savitri Devi Archive’s 2008 edition of Defiance, long out of print, has been reprinted in hardcover & paperback by Counter-Currents!

About Defiance:

Defiance is Savitri Devi’s vivid and impassioned memoir of her arrest, trial, and imprisonment on the charge of distributing National Socialist propaganda in Occupied Germany in 1949.

On 7 September 1948, Savitri Devi entered Germany with eleven thousand propaganda posters and leaflets condemning the Allies, proclaiming that Adolf Hitler was still alive (which she believed to be true at the time), and urging Germans to resist the occupation and to hope and wait for Hitler’s return.

It was a quixotic, futile gesture, born of a spirit of defiance and a thirst for martyrdom.

On the night of 20–21 February 1949, Savitri Devi was arrested in Cologne, interrogated, and taken to the Werl Prison. She was tried in Düsseldorf on 5 April 1949, convicted, and sentenced to three years imprisonment in Werl.

While in Werl, Savitri Devi befriended a number of German women imprisoned as war criminals. She also completed Gold in the Furnace and continued work on her magnum opus, The Lightning and the Sun. Defiance can be read as the companion volume to Gold in the Furnace, since it takes place at the same time and tells the story of its creation.

Savitri Devi was released early from prison on 18 August 1949 at the request of the government of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Defiance is Savitri Devi’s most readable book. It is not primarily a work of philosophy or history, but a gripping first-person narrative that often reads like a novel. Defiance does, however, contain Savitri Devi’s most profound and moving philosophical meditation, “The Way of Absolute Detachment,” in which she uses the teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita to console herself before the prospect of the destruction of her writings and to explain the proper National Socialist view of the relationship between duty and practical consequences.

Reading Defiance, one quickly understands why the Allies imprisoned Savitri Devi and, once she was behind bars, tried to keep her away from the other “political” inmates: her spirit of defiance is contagious.
