Book Presentation: Where The Right Went Wrong by Patrick J. Buchanan
Book Abstract
Where The Right Went Wrong is Buchanan’s take on how today’s Republicans no longer represent the values, beliefs and desires of true conservatives (true in the sense of Taft, Goldwater and Reagan).
Buchanan charges that President Bush has been influenced too heavily by the neoconservatives of today’s Republican Party and is leading the country down a path that may be irrecoverable. Tackling the issues of the war in Iraq, the rise of militant Islam, the outsourcing of American jobs, the loss of conservative and religious values, the economic crisis and more, Buchanan presents an expose of all he feels is wrong with the direction of America and the Republican Party.

He is the author of six books, the editor of The American Conservative magazine and a founding member of three of America’s foremost public affairs shows, NBC’s The McLaughlin Group and CNN’s The Capitol Gang and Crossfire.
Summary of Where The Right Went Wrong (Patrick J. Buchanan)
The American Empire
Not even the British Empire at its zenith dominated the world in the way the United States does today. By almost any measure (military power, economic power, technology, standard of living, cultural dominance, social freedom, political freedom), America is the gold standard. Yet, history has shown us that all republics, empires and civilizations pass away. In fact, all the empires of the 20th century are gone. Only the American empire endures. But, the invasion of Iraq and the war to impose democracy upon that Arab and Islamic nation that has never known democracy may yet prove to be a textbook example of the imperial overstretch that has brought down so many empires of the past.
After 9/11, most of the world supported military action by the U.S. to punish the men responsible and the regime that harbored them. But now, three years later, the U.S., with little support from the allies we protected through 40 years of Cold War, is mired down in a guerilla war in a nation that had nothing to do with that terror attack.
How did this happen?
