Book: Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World

This book by NBC commentator & former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan is an exercise in delusion bordering on racism.

The question he asks in preface - why western influence is in decline is answered not in his outlandish theories but someone so prominent believes in such a jaundiced version of world history.

No doubt if west keeps producing such "leaders" western influence is bound to decline.
