Reclaiming the American Right

Today people associate the American Right with militarism and big spending, despite the periodic rhetoric about cutting government. If you think about it, some of the largest expansions of government in the last 50 years have taken place under regimes that identified themselves with the "right."

It was not always this way! The American Right was born in opposition to the New Deal and its drive for the entrenchment of the welfare-warfare state. This book by Justin Raimondo is the most compelling narrative ever written on the "Old Right" of the 1930s and 1940s. He writes of the forgotten giants and prophets such as Sen. Robert A. Taft, Garet Garrett, Albert Jay Nock, Isabel Patterson, and Col. Robert McCormick, among many other figures.

First published in 1993, Reclaiming the American Right is today as timely as ever. It was first written as a polemic but it has emerged as a lasting classic that will educate and fire you up about the ideals of this generation, and how they can be recaptured today.

The Betrayal of the American Right

This remarkable piece of history will change the way you look at American politics. It shows that the corruption of American "conservatism" began long before George W. Bush ballooned the budget and asserted dictatorial rights over the country and the world. The American Right long ago slid into the abyss.

Betrayal of the American Right is the full story, and the author is none other than Murray N. Rothbard, who witnessed it all firsthand. He tells his own story and reveals that machinations behind the subversion of an anti-state movement into one that cheers statism of the worst sort.

People who have read it swear that it is the best account ever how the old right was subverted to become a propaganda branch of the state, not just recently but fifty years ago. So Rothbard's account is not only a critical historical document; it also has explosive explanatory power.

This book has been the best-kept secret in political writing for the last half century. Now at last it can be revealed to the world. Betrayal of the America Right is the tell-all book that shows why and how the ideological world turned upside down.
