The 1992 presidential election campaign showed just how deep were the divisions within the Republican party.  In Beautiful Losers, Samuel Francis argues that the victory of the Democratic party marks not only the end of the Reagan-Bush era, but the failure of the American conservatism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This collection of provocative articles and review essays by a Washington Times columnist deals variously with the quarrel between the Old Right and the Neoconservatives, the emergence in the last decade of multiculturalism and political correctness, as well as the shifting of traditional moral, sexual, and social norms."--Publishers Weekly



"In Beautiful Losers Samuel Francis stakes his claim as one of the most important conservative thinkers of our time. His work complements the efforts of an earlier generation of American conservatives who focused on defining and celebrating the 'social and cultural substratum' on which our freedom rests. His unique and valuable contribution has been to define the forces that threaten that freedom, while offering a framework within which we can fight to preserve it."--Chronicles



"Francis is a skilled prose stylist; his essays are often a pleasure to read for that reason alone."--Detroit News

    Incredibly insightful and put much of what I have noticed with the Conservative Party as I have gotten older into perspective.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
    Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2000
    Format: Paperback
    This is a brilliant collection of essays by Dr. Samuel Francis, perhaps the leading paleoconservative writer today. As many people don't know, most of today's so-called "conservative" thinkers are in fact "neo-conservatives," or as Francis says "neo-liberals." They accept many of the premises of liberalism, but think liberalism went to far in the 70's. Rather than providing an alternative to the liberals, they are just another aspect of what Francis' mentor, James Burnham, called the "managerial class." This collection contains excellent essays on Martin Luther King, Joe McCarthy and other subjects.

    4.0 out of 5 stars another good collection of Francis' essays.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book is a collection of Sam Francis’ essays written between 1981 and 1991. He discusses the conservatism and the Right, and describes how true conservatives had become irrelevant. America surely needs Francis' whit and wisdom today.
