Day of Reckoning

How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart

About this book

The New York Times –bestselling author and political commentator ponders troubles facing America in the 21st century.

"Provocative, intelligent." — Kirkus Reviews

America is coming apart at the seams. Forces foreign and domestic seek an end to U.S. sovereignty and independence. Before us looms the prospect of an America breaking up along the lines of race, ethnicity, class, and culture. In Day of Reckoning, Pat Buchanan reveal the true existential crisis of the nation and shows how President Bush's post-nine/eleven conversion to an ideology of "democratism" led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad and savage division at home.

Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a golden calf, a false god, a secular religion that seeks vainly, like Marxism, to create a paradise on earth. Buchanan lays out ideas to prevent the end of America. He calls for a bottom-up review of all of America's Cold War commitments, a ten-point program to secure America's borders, ideas to halt the erosion of our national sovereignty and restore our manufacturing preeminence and economic independence.

Buchanan offers a radical but necessary program, for neither party is addressing the real crisis of America—whether we survive as one nation and people, or disintegrate into what Theodore Roosevelt called a "tangle of squabbling nationalities" and not a nation at all.

"Buchanan can write, and he knows how to provoke." — The New York Times

"Buchanan is an honest writer who . . . minces nothing except an occasional opponent." — The Philadelphia Inquirer
