Where the right went wrong

How Neoconservatives Subverted the Reagan Revolution and Hijacked the Bush Presidency
Book • 2001
In this book, Patrick J. Buchanan critiques the Bush administration and neoconservative policies, arguing that they have hijacked the Republican Party and abandoned the principles of true conservatism.

He contends that neoconservatives, whom he describes as 'liberal wolves in conservative suits,' have led the country into a 'war of civilizations' with the Islamic world and have compromised American sovereignty and industrial power through free trade policies.

Buchanan also criticizes the Iraq War, immigration policies, and the cultural and social policies of the Bush administration, arguing that they have strayed from the ideals of conservatives like Taft, Goldwater, and Reagan.
