Publisher Description
A searing exposé of the saboteurs of Reaganism and sappers of the Bush administration by three-time presidential candidate and bestselling author Pat Buchanan 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 our beloved America is now reviled abroad, dictated to by arrogant judges at home, overrun by special interests, and buried beneath a mountain of debt. 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 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.

"Very perceptive book. Although I generally am not a fan of Buchanan, he really nails the problems of the conservative movement and makes some good arguments for a roll-back of the changes caused by the Bush neo-conservative crew."

Where the Right Went Wrong Listener Reviews

" Buchanon is great at pointing out the symptoms and some of the root causes of the demise of the grand ideals of conservatism. His solutions, however, leave much to be desired. "
— Clay, 11/11/2013 -
" Good history, bad politics. Patrick is a realist conservative who bashes bush well. This is a good book for Republicans to read. Buchanan cares about the things that Republicans care about. "
— Owen, 11/6/2013 -
" I'm with him until he gets to his imperative to preserve "white culture" against foreigners, which he almost describes as barbarian hordes. "
— Ron, 10/6/2013 -
" It scared the bejesus out of me to realize I agreed with half the book! But then Buchanan tried to talk about economics, so thankfully reverted to his usual idiocy. But seriously, I agreed with most of what he said in Part 1 of the book - scary. lol "
