Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisJames Burnham's 1964 classic, Suicide of the West , remains a startling account on the nature of the modern era. It offers a profound, in depth analysis of what is happening in the world today by putting into focus the intangible, often vague doctrine of American liberalism. It parallels the loosely defined liberal ideology rampant in American government and institutions, with the flow, ebb, growth, climax and the eventual decline and death of both ancient and modern civilizations. Its author maintains that western suicidal tendencies lie not so much in the lack of resources or military power, but through an erosion of intellectual, moral, and spiritual factors abundant in modern western society and the mainstay of liberal psychology. Devastating in its relentless dissection of the liberal syndrome, this book will lead many liberals to painful self-examination, buttress the thinking conservative's viewpoint, and incite others, no doubt, to infuriation. None can ignore it.

Pedantic but makes some good points
The author was a former pinko who turned to the right politically. Does a pretty good job of diagnosing the disease of liberalism but does not quite come up with a cure. Sadly,, the Loony Left will always be with us and eventually will be the demise of Western Civilization. Cheers!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
