"If there is a prize for the worst book of the year, then Jacob Heilbrunn's America Last: The Right's Century-Long Romance with Foreign Dictators should be the runaway winner. The book is bad in every way a book can be bad: it is badly written, badly argued, and badly titled. It is also mostly wrong. Some might say it is dishonest. The publisher should offer a refund to anyone paying good money for this poor excuse for a book."
- James Piereson, "The Worst Book of the Year" in The New Criterion, June 2024
