Böcker av Patrick J. Buchanan

Were World Wars I and II inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Or were they products of calamitous failures of judgment? In this monumental and provocative history, Patrick Buchanan makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen- Winston Churchill first among them-the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe's central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations. Among the British and Churchillian errors were: • The secret decision of a tiny cabal in the inner Cabinet in 1906 to take Britain straight to war against Germany, should she invade France • The vengeful Treaty of Versailles that mutilated Germany, leaving her bitter, betrayed, and receptive to the appeal of Adolf Hitler • Britain's capitulation, at Churchill's urging, to American pressure to sever the Anglo-Japanese alliance, insulting and isolating Japan, pushing her onto the path of militarism and conquest • The greatest mistake in British history: the unsolicited war guarantee to Poland of March 1939, ensuring the Second World War Certain to create controversy and spirited argument, Churchill, Hitler, and "the Unnecessary War" is a grand and bold insight into the historic failures of judgment that ended centuries of European rule and guaranteed a future no one who lived in that vanished world could ever have envisioned.

While free enterprise is good, the worship of 'free trade' is de-industrializing America, killing the middle class, and imperiling US economic independence. While America must stand for freedom, liberty and self-determination, the use of US troops to police the planet or serve as advance guard is imperial folly that will bring down the republic.

The United States of 1960 was a First World nation, 90 per cent of whose people traced their ancestry to Europe. The deconstruction of America has begun. By 2050, Americans of European descent will be a minority in the United States. 100 million Hispanics will be living here. This book demonstrates that this is what is happening to America.
