Ok, I bought it and read it.

A few thoughts:

Despite the apologetic to the contrary, only unifying theme was antisemitism.

Pinchon was a rootless anarchist. Quite literally insane. To his credit, Ezra Pound spoke well of his courage. Also insane.
Garland? an insane occultist.

Author is purported to be a devout Catholic yet he does not write well of his Church.

Only mention of Catholicism was associated with Communism and internationalism

Until he gets to Buchanan.

He lauds Buchanan...

“...sounded positively Coughlinite when he denounced "vulture capitalists" and insisted that "conservatism is about more than the constitutional right of big fishes to eat little fishes."

Then derides him for his opposition to rainbow nationalism.

Most of the book is directed towards noninterventionalism.

Not much is devoted which America goes first in America First.

Often the libertarian Catholic is the dissenting Catholic coopted by contraception or homosexuality.

A short ode of Buchanan’s, not much else:

“They say free trade, that's it. These are our people who are losing their homes, losing their jobs, losing their way of life. Unbridled capitalism-if you will, free trade theory-can be a very, very brutal force.”

McClaughry of Vermont is lauded.

He claims Libertarian and Distributist roots.

Much more could have been said of him and the America he envisioned.

This vision is what is lacking in folks besides Buchanan, Fr. Coughlin, and McClaughry

“The retroprogressives favored, in the words of novelist and farmer Louis Bromfield, "free, dispersed, competitive and cooperative capitalism.”

Concluding this thread:

The book was helpful in illuminating the bleak and desolate history of Utopian America.

It highlighted the absence of, and need for, Catholic social teaching applied to our country.

Pesch and Belloc would be better authors looking to the future.
