American Conservative Manifesto. |
The year 2007 marks the 100th birthday of John Wayne, unquestionably the most popular and durable star in film history, beloved as the archetype of rugged individualism, template of authentic Americanism, and, perhaps, the most authentic voice of the Conservative movement.
“Words are loaded pistols,” wrote Jean-Paul Sartre. John Wayne’s words were as powerful as the six-guns he wore on his hips. On and off screen, he spoke in declarative, often blunt sentences to express what he meant.
This book presents an articulation of wisdom from an icon of the Old Right, fascinating for its probity and sincerity. This compilation by author Michael Turback is a challenge to so-called Conservatives and a valuable reference regardless of the reader’s political ideology.
Here’s what critics are saying about The John Wayne Code:
“Straight from the Duke's mouth, Michael Turback draws out what a real Conservative is all about. Once again, Turback serves up one of American pop culture's greatest institutions in delicious, fun-size bites.”
— Eric Lichtenfeld, author of Action Speaks Louder: Violence, Spectacle, and the American Action Movie
