Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? Patrick J Buchanan

Brief Description: Buchanan's latest polemic exposes the risks America faces today and what those dangers will mean for the country's future. The bestselling author and political legend weighs in with a warning against not only the dangers that the country faces under Obama, but also the risk of sliding into irrelevancy that the Republican party faces if it chooses to forget its core values. Review Quotes: Praise for Pat Buchanan: "Buchanan is an honest writer who ... minces nothing except an occasional opponent."--"The Philadelphia Inquirer""Nobody turns a sharp phrase, drops an historical reference, or makes a literary allusion as naturally as Pat Buchanan."--"Human Events""Buchanan is a muscular writer, fully in command of the English language he feels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."--"The Washington Post""Mr. Buchanan ... is positively fearless. He is also right."--Tony Blankley, "The Washington Times""His approach is that of a true conservative, offering a perspective rooted in American tradition initiated by Washington."--"Kirkus Reviews"Biographical Note: PATRICK J.

He lives in McLean, Virginia. Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [431]-470) and index. Publisher Marketing: 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. Review Citations:
