 Rating:  - A Great Autobiography"Right from the Beginning" is the enjoyable autobiography of Pat Buchanan. His account of growing up in the middle decades of the twentieth century in Washington, D.C. is a page-turner, and he stresses how growing up in the pre-Sixties era was much different from doing so afterward. Some of the anecdotes that Buchanan relays in the book are laugh-out-loud funny. The book continues with Buchanan's path through college and graduate school to his days as an editorial writer in St. Louis. ... Read More Rating:  - Memoir of a Right Wing Conservative This is #100 on the reader's choice non-fiction, of the Modern Library's Top 100 list. It's basically an autobiography of Pat Buchanan, who is as right wing conservative as they come.

Bush's war in Iraq, I decided to catch up my reading of Buchanan's books by reading _A Republic, Not an Empire_ (1999) and _Where the Right Went Wrong_ (2004). Having been favorably impressed with these two books, I turned my catch-up reading next to _Right from the Beginning_ (1988; 2nd ed. 1990). It is a remarkably well-written and remarkably honest autobiography. At times it is very funny. As a boy ... Read More Rating: - One of a kindThe man is brilliant and an extremely talented writer and TV commentator. Another great asset this author has is a sense of humor. He does not take himself seriously. He is loyal to his friends in good times and bad. He does not apologize for his ethnic heritage,his deep love of his native land, his deep religious faith, his Jesuit education. He is a well rounded person. I am always impressed with his TV appearances in that he never raises his voice or tries to speak over another guest. His manners are genuine. ... Read More Rating:  - Pat's best yet. Before he became enamored with stupid 'judeo-Christain' gibberishA very insightful and readable biography of American perpetual Presidential Candi- date Pat Buchanan, who used to be very good on the McLaughlin Group. Buchanan got my vote in 2000 when he ran on the Reform Party tix and I was 4th District Delegate in Ches., VA. Buchanan's troops marched off with the matching funds, Buch- anan started a silly Newsletter and a new Third political party of hacks and started using that stupid 'judeo-Christian' moniker Read More
