PREFACE
	If the whole book resembles Don Quixote fighting windmills—so be it. I have given no references to the many basic facts and writings I have used in this book because they are well known to most of the literate world. Only the interpretation of these facts and writings are my own.       Several books have been written about the plague, either fictional accounts of occurrences or factual historical or medical descriptions. However, they were all concerned with the bubonic plague and its consequences. The plague I describe has a different etiological agent; instead of Yersinia pestis, it is Homo sapiens.       Nietzsche felt his task was to describe Übermensch and hoped for a time when they would prevail. However even he, who condemned the democratic movement, could not realize its destructiveness. The subtitle, "Beyond Nietzsche" is to say there will never be a world of Übermensch.
