Publisher's summary

All but predicting the September 11 attacks, Pat Buchanan warns that America is inviting terrorist attacks and conflict by engaging in an interventionist foreign policy that is costly, dangerous, and does not serve our own interests.

Anyone who has caught Pat Buchanan's television appearances, or heard his campaign rhetoric, will be surprised at his relatively evenhanded and thoughtful tone as he writes - often quite persuasively - in favor of the restoration of the political, military, and economic independence that largely drove U.S. foreign policy in the 19th century. At the heart of A Republic, Not an Empire is a well-written history of U.S. foreign policy beginning with the end of the American Revolution, going through the First and Second World Wars, Vietnam, and the end of the cold war, up to the superpower's involvement in the Persian Gulf and the former Yugoslavia.

Essential in 2024 USA

I loved the message of this book. USA needs to leave the empire mindset. Bring the troops home and guard our western hemisphere interests.

A lesson for the ages

Just about anyone can take something from this book to help retain the Republic our founding fathers envisioned. The next century, 22st, will undoubtedly spell the end of the United States or the envisioned plan of a free country our founding fathers envisioned the rest of mankind to follow.

It is up to all of you and Me to make that difference.

Solid US foreign policy history and advice for America

Reading this in 2023, it’s incredible how well Buchanan understood where the deeply-flawed US foreign policy was leading us…

A little dated, but....

This was an informative book. Lots oh history covered in the wars our Country has endured since winning our freedom! Unfortunately it was written pre Obama and even Patrick J. Buchanan couldn't foresee the mess our Republic is in.

America 1st

great book & the final chapter brings it all together. there are multiple right wing movements that are fighting the globalists of both parties. America Populist Union (APU), AmericaFirst(AF), John Doyle of HeckOffCommie, etc. Although I see this been a fight to resurrect a dead Republic, I am pretty optimistic looking at the Young Christian men actively been apart of community and politics
