Reclaiming the American Right
The Lost Legacy of the Conservative Movement
by Justin Raimondo
with a new introduction by George W. Carey
In recent years a number of conservatives have wondered where the Right went wrong. One persuasive answer is provided by Reclaiming the American Right: The Lost Legacy of the Conservative Movement. Justin Raimondo’s captivating narrative is the story of how the non-interventionist Old Right—which included half-forgotten giants and prophets such as Sen. Robert A. Taft, Garet Garrett, and Col. Robert McCormick—was supplanted in influence by a Right that made its peace with bigger government at home and “perpetual war for perpetual peace” abroad. First published in 1993, Reclaiming the American Right is today as timely as ever. It is the definitive history of the Old Right.
The latest volume in ISI Books’ Background series, this edition includes a new introduction by Georgetown political scientist George W. Carey, Patrick J. Buchanan’s introduction to the second edition, and new critical essays on the text by Scott P. Richert, executive editor of Chronicles, and David Gordon, senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

Praise for Reclaiming the American Right
"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 invokved 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
“Richly researched, brilliantly written, passionately argued. . . . A veritable Iliad of the American Right.”
—Patrick J. Buchanan, political commentator, syndicated columnist, and author |
