The Apprentice A Novel

The West is dying. Collapsing birth rates in Europe and the U. S., coupled with population explosions in Africa, Asia and Latin America are set to cause cataclysmic shifts in world power, as unchecked immigration swamps and polarizes every Western society and nation. Drawing on U. N. population projections, recent U. S. census figures, and expert policy studies, prominent conservative Pat Buchanan takes a cold, hard look at the future decay of Europe and America and the decline of Western culture. In The Death of the West, Buchanan contends that the U. S. now harbors a "nation within a nation", that Europe will be inundated by an Islamic-Arab-African invasion, and that most First World nations, including Japan, have begun slowly to vanish from the earth. And aside from a rapidly aging population, Buchanan argues that the counter-culture of the 1960s has now become America's dominant ethos, and is systematically demolishing America's history and heritage. Bold, powerful, and persuasive, The Death of the West details how a civilization, culture, and moral order are passing away and foresees a new world order that has terrifying implications four our freedom, our faith, and the preeminence of American democracy.AUTHORBIO: Patrick J.
