The book that inspired Ron Paul.
"When I was deciding whether or not to run for President as a Republican, I re-read Justin Raimondo's Reclaiming the American Right and it gave me hope—that the anti-interventionist, pro-liberty Old
Right, which had once dominated the party, could and would rise again.
Here is living history: the story of an intellectual and political
tradition that my campaign invoked and reawakened. This prescient
book, written in 1993, could not be more relevant today."
— RON PAUL, Ten Term U.S. Congressman (TX) and 2008 Presidential Candidate

This is the definitive history of the
Old Right.
-
The book shows, in detail, how neoconservatism was spawned in the internal feuds of the far Left, especially through major treatments of ex-Trotskyists Max Schachtman and James Burnham.
-
The book was remarkably prescient in going on to predict the slide toward utopianism of conservative politics under neoconservative leadership.
-
Volume contains unique and valuable portraits of individual Old Rightists, including John T. Flynn, H. L. Mencken, Albert Jay Nock, Frank Chodorov, Colonel McCormick, Robert Taft, Rose Wilder Lane, Isabel Paterson, and Louis Bromfield. Its treatment of Garet Garrett is the only detailed profile of an important (and unjustly neglected) figure.
-
Contains well-researched, independent, still-fresh accounts of the neocon/paleocon split and the birth of the modern libertarian movement.
