Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Whether you agree or disagree with Pat Buchanan's strong opinions, he's generally a lively presence on the TV political talkfests. And that's why this audiobook is so disappointing. Buchanan's delivery is that of a man unfamiliar with the text, yet he wrote it! Plodding, uninteresting, and unanimated are a few apt descriptors. His delivery detracts from the impact of his words, which are pretty darned fiery. The bass-heavy overprocessed audio production does not help the cause either. Buchanan's voice is never this horse or raspy on television. Overall, one will likely get a better experience from this book by reading the printed copy.

From Booklist
In his wide-ranging argument about immigration, perennial wake-up-caller Buchanan finally seems a little despondent. The West is nearing death by drowning under a torrent of non-Westerners, the preponderance of whom, he insists, are just trying to earn more and live better than they did in their countries of origin. Some few are bad actors, but they would be manageable if the total number of immigrants were much smaller. Crucially exacerbating the crisis are attitudes fostered by original homelands and others neglected by host nations. For example, Mexico, with its permanent, inalienable citizenship and historic grudge against the U.S. for the latter's Mexican War-facilitated purchase of half of Mexico's original territory, actively discourages Mexicans in the U.S. from becoming U.S.-identified. Simultaneously, U.S. elites downplay "Americanization" in favor of transforming most of the populace into a low-wage workforce fragmented by linguistic and cultural differences. Look to Europe, which from Britain to Russia, Buchanan argues, is much nearer cultural collapse, to see the U.S. in 2050--or sooner. Ray Olson
