Here is the path-breaking book that rocketed a political philosophy
into the forefront of the nation's consciousness, written in words
whose vigor and relevance have not tarnished with age.
Were World Wars I and II inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Or
were they products of calamitous failures of judgment?
In this monumental and provocative history, Patrick Buchanan makes
the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen-Winston
Churchill first among them-the horrors of two world wars and the
Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might
never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous
oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist
tyranny might never have happened, and Europe's central role in
world affairs might have been sustained for many generations.
Among the British and Churchillian errors were:
- The secret decision of a tiny cabal in the inner Cabinet in 1906
to take Britain straight to war against Germany, should she invade
France
- The vengeful Treaty of Versailles that mutilated Germany, leaving
her bitter, betrayed, and receptive to the appeal of Adolf
Hitler
- Britain's capitulation, at Churchill's urging, to American
pressure to sever the Anglo-Japanese alliance, insulting and
isolating Japan, pushing her onto the path of militarism and
conquest
- The greatest mistake in British history: the unsolicited war
guarantee to Poland of March 1939, ensuring the Second World War
Certain to create controversy and spirited argument, "Churchill,
Hitler, and "the Unnecessary War"" is a grand and bold insight into
the historic failures of judgment that ended centuries of European
rule and guaranteed a future no one who lived in that vanished
world could ever have envisioned.
The national bestseller that shocked the nation--The Death of the West is an unflinching look at the increasing decline in Western culture and power.
The West is dying. Collapsing birth rates in Europe and the U. S., coupled with population explosions in Africa, Asia and Latin America are set to cause cataclysmic shifts in world power, as unchecked immigration swamps and polarizes every Western society and nation. The Death of the West details how a civilization, culture, and moral order are passing away and foresees a new world order that has terrifying implications for our freedom, our faith, and the preeminence of American democracy.
The Death of the West is a timely, provocative study that asks the question that quietly troubles millions: Is the America we grew up in gone forever?
America is disintegrating. The "one Nation under God,
indivisible" of the Pledge of Allegiance is passing away. In a few
decades, that America will be gone forever. In its place will arise
a country unrecognizable to our parents. This is the thrust of Pat
Buchanan's "Suicide of a Superpower," his most controversial and
thought-provoking book to date.
Buchanan traces the disintegration to three historic changes:
America's loss of her cradle faith, Christianity; the moral,
social, and cultural collapse that have followed from that loss;
and the slow death of the people who created and ruled the nation.
And as our nation disintegrates, our government is failing in its
fundamental duties, unable to defend our borders, balance our
budgets, or win our wars.
How Americans are killing the country they profess to love, and the
fate that awaits us if we do not turn around, is what "Suicide of a
Superpower "is all about.
America is coming apart at the seams. Forces foreign and domestic
seek an end to U.S. sovereignty and independence. Before us looms
the prospect of an America breaking up along the lines of race,
ethnicity, class and culture. In "Day of Reckoning," Pat Buchanan
reveals the true existential crisis of the nation and shows how
President Bush's post-9/11 conversion to an ideology of
"democratism" led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad
and savage division at home.
Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a Golden Calf, a false god, a
secular religion that seeks vainly, like Marxism, to create a
paradise on earth.
While free enterprise is good, the worship of a "free trade" that
is destroying the dollar, de-industrializing America, and ending
our economic independence, is cult madness. While America must
stand for freedom and self-determination, the use of U.S. troops to
police the planet or serve as advance guard of some "world
democratic revolution" is, as Iraq shows, imperial folly that will
bring ruin to the republic. While America should speak out for
human rights, the idea that we get in Russia's face and hand out
moral report cards to every nation on earth is moral arrogance.
While we have benefited from immigration and the melting pot worked
with millions of Europeans, the idea we can import endless millions
of aliens, legal and illegal, from every culture, clime, creed, and
continent on earth, and still remain a country, is absurd.
To save America the first imperative is to remove from power the
ideologues of both parties who have nearly killed our country.
In his final chapter, Buchanan lays out ideas to prevent the end
of America. He calls for a bottom-up review of all of America's
Cold War commitments, a ten-point program to secure America's
borders, ideas to halt the erosion of our national sovereignty and
restore our manufacturing preeminence and economic independence,
and a formula for finding the way to a cold peace in the culture
wars.
Buchanan offers a radical but necessary program, for neither party
is addressing the real crisis of America -- whether we survive as
one nation and people, or disintegrate into what Theodore Roosevelt
called a "tangle of squabbling nationalities" and not a nation at
all. IN THIS EYE-OPENING BOOK, PAT BUCHANAN REVEALS THE PERILOUS
PATH OUR NATION HAS TAKEN:
- "Pax Americana" -- the era of U.S. global dominance -- is over.
- A struggle for world hegemony among the United States, China, a
resurgent Russia and radical Islam has begun.
- Torn apart by a culture war, America has begun to Balkanize and
break down along class, cultural, ethnic, and racial lines.
- Free trade is hollowing out U.S. industry, destroying the dollar,
and plunging the country into permanent dependency and unpayable
debt.
- One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush.
- The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to
U.S. survival than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq.
...IS OUR DAY OF RECKONING JUST AHEAD?
"Eminently worth reading and pondering."
--"The Washington Times"
"[Buchanan] is a muscular writer, fully in command of the English
language he feels is under siege. He is adept at linking history,
statistics and the writings of philosophers and economists to
proffer forceful arguments. His book crackles."
--"The Washington Post"
"Mr. Buchanan, in this book, is positively fearless. He is also
right."
--Tony Blankley, "The Washington Times"
In this passionate best-seller, Patrick Buchanan documents the
mortal peril America faces from massive, uncontrolled immigration
from the third world.
Pat Buchanan is sounding the alarm. Since 9/11, more than four
million illegal immigrants have crossed our borders--and more come
in every day. Politicians in Washington either lack the political
will or can't agree on how to uphold the rule of law. The "melting
pot" is cracked beyond repair, and the future of our nation is at
stake.
"State of Emergency" reveals the frightening truth about the
effects of uncontrolled immigration and warns of the end of our
culture as we know it. With his trademark passion and eloquence,
Buchanan details the roots of the crisis and lays out a practical
plan for immigration reform and border security. With an estimated
ten to fifteen million "illegals" already here and untold millions
more poised to cross our borders, and with Congress seemingly
paralyzed, few books could be as timely--or as important--as "State
of Emergency," It is essential reading for all Americans.
American Empire is at its apex. We are the sole superpower with no
potential challenger for a generation. We can reach any point on
the globe with our cruise missiles and smart bombs and our culture
penetrates every nook and cranny of the global village. Yet we are
now the most hated country on earth, buried beneath a mountain of
debt and morally bankrupt.
"Where the Right Went Wrong" chronicles how the Bush administration
and Beltway conservatives have abandoned their principles, and how
a tiny cabal hijacked U. S. foreign policy, and may have ignited a
"war of civilizations" with the Islamic world that will leave
America's military mired down in Middle East wars for years to
come.
At the same time, these Republicans have sacrificed the American
worker on the altar of free trade and discarded the beliefs of
Taft, Goldwater and Reagan to become a party of Big Government that
sells its soul to the highest bidder.
A damning portrait of the present masters of the GOP, "Where the
Right Went Wrong "calls to task the Bush administration for its
abandonment of true conservatism including:
*The neo-conservative cabal-liberal wolves in conservative
suits.
*Why the Iraq War has widened and imperiled the War on
Terror.
*How current trade policy outsources American sovereignty,
independence and industrial power.
"Buchanan is an honest writer who...minces nothing except an
occasional opponent."
--"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
