Editorial Reviews
Review
“Buchanan is an honest writer who … minces nothing except an occasional opponent.” ―The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Nobody turns a sharp phrase, drops an historical reference, or makes a literary allusion as naturally as Pat Buchanan.” ―Human Events
“Buchanan is a muscular writer, fully in command of the English language he feels is under siege. He is adept at linking history, statistics, and the writings of philosophers and economists to proffer forceful arguments.” ―The Washington Post
“Mr. Buchanan … is positively fearless. He is also right.” ―Tony Blankley, The Washington Times
“His approach is that of a true conservative, offering a perspective rooted in American tradition initiated by Washington.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Suicide of a Superpower traces the changes in governance and culture in America that foreshadow a decline of epic proportions. ... Buchanan is no stranger to controversy. Nor is he prone to exaggerate. The crises he describes are real, and he is not afraid to say they ‘may prove too much for our democracy to cope with.'” ―Jack Kenny, The New American Magazine
“A stunning Jeremiad on America's decline, written with characteristic muscle and wit.” ―Timothy Stanley, The Telegraph (UK)
“Buchanan offers an astute diagnosis of America's problems and gives constructive suggestions to put us back on track.” ―Virgil Goode (Former Congressman R-VA), The Daily Caller on Suicide of a Superpower
“Well-written, well researched and highly persuasive.” ―Tom Piatak, Chronicles Magazine

His greatest accomplishments however, are not political, they are written. His books are always provocative.
In this book, Buchanan argues that America is entering troubled waters, so troubled in fact the United States might not survive. This pending calamity is due to several self-inflicted wounds.
1. A loss of religious faith. Buchanan is a Roman Catholic and so he is most critical of that church, especially since Vatican II.
2. Immigration and collapsing birthrates. Buchanan argues that the Third Worlders coming to America won't be able to sustain the great civilization created by whites.
3. Collapse of manufacturing and trade imbalances. Buchanan gets official scorn from the main stream media and political class for his pro-white views but perhaps the Global Elite really are mad about his protectionist, economic populist attitudes. Essentially, Buchanan supports the ideas of Alexander Hamilton, and Abraham Lincoln on trade and well-paid labor. In contrast to nearly all the casino capitalists on Wall Street who have benefited so well from dismantling America's industrial base. He provides alarming statistics showing America's trade imbalance with the Far East, so much so it appears that we have returned to the status as a colonial outpost.
This book is alarming indeed and is a very worthy book describing the crisis of America in a way few are able to express.
It is sad the direction this country is taking. I hope enough people will read, and act on this book, to help turn back the tide.

Buchanan doesn’t understand trade. He outlines how demographic trends threaten conservative parties (I.e GOP in USA), however he fails to suggest solutions (i.e. reaching out to black communities, who often hold socially conservative views). The Buchanan paints an isolationist, non-interventionist foreign policy in a good light, without acknowledging the extent to which the current world order benefits American enterprise and security.
Overall a poor read.
