'''Wilmot Robertson''' (pen name of '''Humphrey Ireland''', born 16 April, 1915 in [[Pennsylvania]], died 8 July, 2005 in Bryson City, [[North Carolina]])<ref>[http://www.faqs.org/people-search/ireland-born-in-1915/ People Search]</ref> was an American [[racialist]] author and publisher of ''[[Instauration]]''.

==Personal Background==
A native Pennsylvanian of colonial ancestral stock, Robertson had relatives who fought on both sides in the [[U.S. Civil War]].<ref>Credentials on the dust jacket of ''Dispossessed Majority''</ref> Robertson was raised an [[Episcopalian]].<ref>[http://www.resist.com/Instaurationarchive/Instauration197712.pdf ''Instauration'' December 1977, page 13]</ref>

===Young-Adulthood Through Middle-Age===
Robertson was a student at [[Yale University]] from 1932-34. Following university, he visited in the [[National Socialist Germany|New Germany]]<ref>''Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement...'', by Leonard Zeskind, page 11</ref>, as racialists were doing at the time, including [[Lothrop Stoddard]]. Whatever his opinions of what he saw, his future writing does not appear to be directly influenced by National-Socialist ideas.

During [[World War II]], Robertson served as a U.S. Army officer. After the war, he developed a successful career in journalism and advertising.

Robertson did not get seriously involved in the world of racial-nationalist writing and publishing until he was in his 50s.

===Pen Name===
Wilmot Robertson became the pen name/alias adopted by John Humphrey Ireland. He exclusively used the name "Wilmot Robertson" during his thirty years as a noted writer and publisher of racialist material.

==Publications==
===The Dispossessed Majority===
His first and most important book was ''[[The Dispossessed Majority]]'', published first in 1972 when he was 57. It was a chronicle of the demise of the white majority in the [[USA]], which, the book argues, was "dispossessed" by anti-national forces and hostile ethno-religious pressure groups. The book was tremendously influential on the racialist political scene of the time. It has since been compared to ''[[Which Way, Western Man]]''.

[[David Duke]] has said that it was a major influence on his politics personally when he read it as a young man, saying:

::"''I think this is the most important book since the Second World War''"

The book was spectacularly successful, and went through numerous printings, selling 200,000 copies by the end of the 1990s.<ref>http://www.jstor.org/pss/4121335</ref>

===''Instauration'': Racialist Journal===
Following the unexpected success of "The Dispossessed Majority", Robertson contemplated putting together a magazine dealing with the same subject matter.

In 1975, this became a reality. Robertson started the highly-regarded [[racialist]] journal ''[[Instauration]]'' that year, which was published monthly until 1996, and irregularly until 2000. The magazine featured the work of numerous racialist authors, including [[Richard McCulloch]]. Robertson published the magazine using his own publishing company, Howard Allen Publishers, named after his two sons.

===The Ethnostate===
In the early 1990s, in the wake of the fall of the [[Berlin Wall]], the potential for serious political change presented itself.

In this context, Robertson penned a philosophical exploration of the nature of the ideal state; its purpose, its character, its goals, its mechanics. These ruminations, many of which had appeared in ''Instauration'', were published as "[[The Ethnostate]]" in 1993. The breezy quasi-essays of the volume address the challenge of how to solve the postmodern racial crisis facing the world.

The book has been compared to [[Plato]]'s "Republic" in terms of potential importance. The term "[[ethnostate]]" has since become an integral part of the vocabulary of most racialists. The book is still being sold as of 2010 by racialist book-distributors such as [[The Noontide Press]].

===Other Writing===
In the [[1960s]] he was a contributor to [[Willis Carto]]’s magazine ''[[Western Destiny]]''.<ref>''Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement...'', by Leonard Zeskind, page 11</ref> He also published a third, little known book, called "Ventilations" (1982), a collection of essays. It was an early attempt to offer solutions to the racial problem facing modern man. The ideas were fleshed out more fully in the more well-known "Ethnostate".
