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.
Global Backlash is the first book to move beyond the monolithic
portrayal of the globalization protests that have escalated since
Seattle and are not likely to abate soon. With trenchant analysis
and dozens of primary documents from a variety of popular and
uncommon sources, Robin Broad explores proposals and initiatives
coming from the backlash to answer the question, But what do they
want? A range of sophisticated propositions and a vibrant debate
among segments of the backlash emerge. Highly readable and
analytically powerful, this book is vital to understanding the most
potent protest movement of our times. Visit our website for sample

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"
From Vietnam to the Southern Strategy, from the opening of China to
the scandal of Watergate, Pat Buchanan--speechwriter and senior
adviser to President Nixon--tells the untold story of Nixon's
embattled White House, from its historic wins to it devastating
defeats. In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in
friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of
1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country
had been mounted to break his presidency. In a brilliant appeal to
what he called the "Great Silent Majority," Nixon sent his enemies
reeling. Vice President Agnew followed by attacking the blatant
bias of the media in a fiery speech authored and advocated by
Buchanan. And by 1970, Nixon's approval rating soared to 68
percent, and he was labeled "The Most Admired Man in America." Them
one by one, the crises came, from the invasion of Cambodia, to the
protests that killed four students at Kent State, to race riots and
court ordered school busing. Buchanan chronicles Nixon's historic
trip to China, and describes the White House strategy that brought
about Nixon's 49-state landslide victory over George McGovern in
1972. When the Watergate scandal broke, Buchanan urged the
president to destroy the Nixon tapes before they were subpoenaed,
and fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, as Nixon ultimately did
in the "Saturday Night Massacre." After testifying before the
Watergate Committee himself, Buchanan describes the grim scene at
Camp David in August 1974, when Nixon's staff concluded he could
not survive In a riveting memoir from behind the scenes of the most
controversial presidency of the last century, Nixon's White House
Wars reveals both the failings and achievements of the 37th
President, recorded by one of those closest to Nixon from before
his political comeback, through to his final days in office.
"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.
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.
