    About this ebook

    The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right by Max Boot: Conversation Starters 


    When Trump declared that Mexican immigrants are rapists and that he will be running for president, Max Boot thought he was witnessing America turn into the dystopian story that science fiction wrote about. A historian who has studied the presidencies of respected Republicans like Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Reagan, he couldn't believe how conservatives could support a reality TV personality.
    He experienced an ideological crisis. He recounts how he changed loyalties from being a foreign policy adviser for Republicans to a columnist who criticized Trump and his administration. His book is a record of his ideological transformation. He no longer calls himself a Republican, but he has not joined the Democrats either.
    The Corrosion of Conservatism is the featured Notable Book of the Year by the Washington Post.

      HE CORROSION OF CONSERVATISM: WHY I LEFT THE RIGHT IS A BOOK that warns the decline of America with the presidency of Donald Trump. It is written by Max Boot, a political commentator who had been a Republican until Trump took over as president. The book is an account of his journey from a devoted Republican to the outspoken opponent of Trump. When Trump declared that Mexican immigrants are rapists and that he will be running for president, Boot thought he was witnessing America turn into the dystopian story that science fiction wrote about. A historian who has studied the presidencies of respected Republicans like Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Reagan, he couldn't believe how conservatives could support a reality TV personality. It seemed like he was caught in the Twilight Zone. He experienced an ideological crisis. He recounts how he changed loyalties from being a foreign policy adviser for Republicans to a columnist who criticized Trump and his administration. His book is a record of his ideological transformation. He no longer calls himself a Republican, but he has not joined the Democrats either. His story starts from his beginnings as a political observer and student who relocated from the Soviet Union. He was an admirer of the National Review and the intellectual tradition started by conservatives like F.A. Hayek and Russell Kirk. Parallel to his personal story, he recounts the history of modern American conservatism, tracing its roots from the canonical The Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater, to Trump's election as president and the foreseen corrosion of the Republican Party. The book claims that 90 percent of Republican intellectuals and leaders have
