Summary:
In this bold work, Rusher examines the fragmentation of the American political system and argues that conservatives should break from the Republican establishment to create an overtly principled, majority party. The book blends both strategic analysis and passionate advocacy, laying out practical steps for organizing such a movement. Rusher’s foresight, written in the aftermath of Watergate and the turmoil of the 1970s, anticipated a wave of political change that would eventually shape the Reagan era and beyond. This book is essential reading for anyone studying the intellectual foundations of modern right-leaning politics.
