It’s quite possibly my new favorite book. Ernst von Salomon tells his life as a young patriot angry at the aftermath of the First World War and the great changes in political and cultural life that followed. Salomon tells vivid and enthralling tales of how he stood up against the spartacist recolutionaries, fought with the freikorps, organized right wing political movements, and pushed back against great change. You will laugh, at some parts you should probably cry, and you will certainly learn a lot about an often overlooked time in German history. Although it is listed as “historical fiction” it is actually all real, Ernst von Salomon simply presented it as fiction to save him from being put back in jail or prosecuted. You can verify this by researching the people, events, and details. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #178,805 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #475 in Political Fiction (Books) #862 in Military Historical Fiction #1,591 in War Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (128) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1.09 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1907166491 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1907166495 | | Item Weight | 1.22 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 434 pages | | Publication date | November 4, 2021 | | Publisher | Arktos Media Ltd. | ## Images ![The Outlaws - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ozAHBJoUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good account of forgotten men *by D***D on February 18, 2026* Good account of forgotten men ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it *by I***H on October 30, 2020* It took me a while to decide to buy this book because it is a bit pricey but it was so worth it.

The first part is about the Freikorps wars against the Bolsheviks in the Baltic countries, the second part is about the author’s role as a founding member of an underground nationalist gang in early Weimar Germany, and the third part is about his time in prison as an accomplice to the assassination of a liberal foreign minister. It’s all based on the author’s life. Ernst von Salomon’s narrator, based on himself, changes the tone of his nationalism from conservative to revolutionary as he and his Freikorps comrades’ activities become more and more illegal. He argues that their war is not just a conservative backlash against communism, but a revolution in its own right. In many ways, Salomon is right about that. There is more than one kind of revolution. With the Freikorps wars, the Bismarckian marriage of nationalism with law and order conservatism gave way to a key feature of 1920s European nationalism: The attitude that a real nationalist is not afraid to break the law. In the second part of the book, Salomon takes this attitude to the extreme as he returns home. The third part is about the unpleasant consequences, and his being man enough to face them. Salomon was a man of his time, but he and his comrades were also ahead of their time. The future lies in war beyond the state and the law. This is shown by Carl Schmitt in his theory of the partisan, or by the Israeli theory of the "fourth generation" of modern warfare. The modern Hobbesian-Westphalian state that came out of the 17th century is dying, if not dead already. Armies, however, are not dead and can never die. For a future marked by the death of the state without the death of armies, Salomon's memoir of the Freikorps wars and his subsequent illegal activities is in many ways prophetic. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25405248-the-outlaws](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25405248-the-outlaws) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
