American Empire is at its apex. We are the sole superpower with no potential challenger for a generation.

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
