"As ever, sheer delight from humor and prose, whatever the political faith." John Kenneth Galbraith
"What Buckley has is a sort of sparkle and grace, equally in his speaking, writing, and television appearances.free minds are desperately rare and precious, and in him I detect one." Malcolm Muggeridge
In this autobiography, woven from personal pieces composed over the course of a celebrated writing life of more than fifty years, you'll meet William Buckley the boy, growing up in a family of ten children; Buckley the daring young political enfant terrible, whose debut book, God and Man at Yale, was a shocking New York Times best-seller; Buckley the editor of National Review, widely hailed as the founder of the modern conservative movement; Buckley the husband and father; Buckley the spy and novelist of spies; and Buckley the bon vivant.
You'll also meet Buckley's friends: Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Clare Boothe Luce, Tom Wolfe, John Kenneth Galbraith, David Niven, and many others.
Along the way, the listener will be treated to Buckley's romance with wine, his love of the right word, his intoxication with music, and his joy in skiing and travel.
