Suicide of a Superpower

Will America Survive to 2025?

By: Patrick J. Buchanan

Narrated by: Patrick J. Buchanan

Pat Buchanan’s latest polemic—and his first since Obama’s election—exposes the risks America faces today and what those dangers will mean for the country’s future.

Since Obama took office, conservative pundits have been mainstays on the best-seller list. And now, the best-selling author and political legend Pat Buchanan weighs in with a warning against not only the dangers that the country faces under Obama, but the risk of sliding into irrelevancy that the Republican party faces if it chooses to forget its core values. As he shows in this incisive book, liberal policy-making and unhindered globalization have eroded America’s economic strength. Changing demographics and declining faith portend a future in which the Republican Party and Christianity will become irrelevant. If things continue unchanged, Buchanan warns, in a few short decades our country will be unrecognizable.

But, there are alternatives. Buchanan finds signs of hope for conservatives and outlines plans for a very different future that the newly ascendant Republicans and Tea Partiers can use in Congress and nationwide.

A major force in conservative opinion and a longtime political commentator, Buchanan’s strident and impassioned argument against the direction in which America is heading will find an eager audience in today’s high-pressure political climate.

prescient and provacative

Would you listen to Suicide of a Superpower again? Why?

I already have.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

Buchannen painted, and justified, a less than optimistic prediction of america's future based on what has happened in other, similiar countries in the past.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration matched the text.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was worried for the country.

Any additional comments?

Buchannens voice is too harsh to listen to for long periods of time. They should have a girl do the readings.

A Bleak Future

Any additional comments?

This was a terrific abridged version of Buchanan's original work that hits on almost every point that he writes about, with the exception of the anti-religious bent that he describes in the text. I've listened to it twice and both times felt extremely depressed about the future of America, which obviously was Buchanan's intention. Great narration by the author.

Points well made.

Forced equality can never withstand the test of time. Wherever there is freedom, inequality will occure.

Also, Every nation is entitled to predominance on its own land. This is a good lesson for all immigrants but also for all invaders.

Sober reality of a country on the brink

Cold hard facts organized and delivered positively to summarize a grim assessment of the state of our once exceptional country
Great information and a call to action to preserve the American identity we love.

Excellent.

Excellent book. Buchanan is right on the money. Every. Single. Time. Thank you, sir, for writing such a needed book at such a needy time.
