Reclaiming the American Right: The Lost Legacy of the Conservative Movement / Edition 2

by Justin Raimondo

Overview

Many conservatives want to know: Where did the Right go wrong?

Justin Raimondo provides the answer in this captivating narrative. Raimondo shows how the noninterventionist Old Right - which included half-forgotten giants and prophets such as Senator Robert A. Taft, Garet Garrett, and Colonel Robert McCormick - was supplanted in influence by a Right that made its peace with bigger government at home and "perpetual war for perpetual peace" abroad.

First published in 1993, Reclaiming the American Right is as timely as ever. This new edition includes commentary by Pat Buchanan, political scientist George W. Carey, Chronicles executive editor Scott Richert, and the Ludwig von Mises Institute's David Gordon.

Editorial Reviews

"When I was deciding whether or not to run for President as a Republican, I re-read Justin Raimondo's Reclaiming the American Right and it gave me hope—that the anti-interventionist, pro-liberty Old Right, which had once dominated the party, could and would rise again. Here is living history: the story of an intellectual and political tradition that my campaign invokved and reawakened. This prescient book, written in 1993, could not be more relevant today." — RON PAUL, Ten Term U.S. Congressman (TX) and 2008 Presidential Candidate

"Richly researched, brilliantly written, passionately argued. . . . A veritable Iliad of the American Right."—Patrick J. Buchanan, political commentator, syndicated columnist, and author
