Urbane. Witty. Charming. Genuine.
MILES GONE BY is a compilation of William F. Buckley essays, columns and anecdotes which tell the story of his life. His writings are so prolific that the better parts of his life had already been chronicled, by himself no less, prior to his death. I began reading National Review in 1978 as a young liberal college student. Buckley was my cure for liberalism along with the practical demise of ...

The alternative are 2 sentences in a history book
My first book by the now-beloved author. I arrived in USA in the 1980's - and was too young to vote for Regan - so this book fills in a chunk of US history I did not have much clue about. It's a collection of dispatches, peppered with sailing adventures and personal interactions. A very enjoyable read... The dispatches from Nixon's trip to Beijing (China) made me laugh - it's amusing how ...

Best of class - Blackford Oakes in Havana
This is the first of Buckley's books that I have read and it was a real treat. This book is so good in a variety of ways that I think it deserves five stars. It is a combination of good story-telling, historical information, compelling characters (including those taken from real life), clear writing, and intrigue. These elements are combined smoothly into a very entertaining and easy to read ...

Seize the day...
Eugene Ehrlich's 'Amo, Amas, Amat and More' is a wonderful shorthand guide to Latin literacy for those who are struggling with Latin, or those of us who had a lot of Latin but little use since our last conjugation, er, um, examination. Gives new meaning to 'conjugal visit' now, doesn't it? (Well, look it up for the distinctions.) There is a very interesting introduction by William F. ...

Basically NR editorials/comments. Unbelievably good and very funny. And I am as liberal as the come. I admired WFB as much as JFK.

Up From Liberalism
I'm a college student studying on a liberal college campus who will probably pursue a career in Constitutional law. Reading this book has helped me understand my political philosophy much more clearly. Up From Liberalism by William F. Buckley, Jr. is a witty, sagacious, and very perceptive book declaring the fresh conservative alternative to liberal establishment politics. It is a must read ...

A Wonderful Debate on the Resurrection
Dr. John Dominic Crossan is the co-chairman of the media darlings known as the Jesus Seminar. Dr. William Craig is (in my opinion) the best Christian apologist of the late 20th century who has specialized his theological research on the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus in 3 major academic books. The give and take of this debate much favored Craig in which he clearly won. Craig argued ...

Even the title
When I first became an avid reader of Mr. Buckley's work I was amazed at how often his use of words was attacked. I wondered whether a new crime bill had been passed that outlawed a person being articulate. Why should someone who joyfully uses language be pilloried for doing so? Even commercial reviewers feel the need to go to their thesaurus, trot out words that they have never used before ...

Student, Instructor, and Alumni
Implicit in a democracy is the free conversation of ideas. Ideas compete with each other for acceptance by individuals, society as a whole and institutions. One of these institutions is the University. Should the University form the argument or do the professors independently make arguments quite independent what the alumni or University president wants made. Does a University organize around a ...

A Wonderful Tribute to a Wonderful President
This is a stunningly beautiful book for those of us who loved what Ronald Reagan did as President. I was a single mom receiving no child support. I'll never foget the hit that inflation was delivering. With the tax rebate, lower taxes and inflation sinking, thanks to President Reagan, he will forever be my hero. I love this man and all he stood for.

The Man Who Saved Classical Liberalism
William F. Buckley may be the most influential American writer of the second half of the 20th century. A strong statement, but think about it. When he wielded his pen he defended freedom in an era when that concept was beginning to be considered passe. He famously jumped "athwart history, yelling 'stop!" With his elegant, cosmopolitan prose he made consevativism intellectually respectable. ...

The Cold War's Story, Concisely Told
We are extremely fortunate to have the story of the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall rendered in the precise narrative of Mr. Buckley's book. Sceptics who might have expected Mr. Buckley exclusively to lavish praise on President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher will be sorely disappointed. What emerges in this concise history is far more complex. Three factors combined over time "to tear down ...

A great project and a very nice book
This was my first project as a ghostwriter (although I was credited as one of the authors) and it was a great experience. Working with with William F. Buckley Jr. was a pleasure! If you live or work in Stamford, you should track down a copy of this magnificent book. The photos by Bill Hubbell are excellent!!!

Requiem for a Heavyweight....
William F. Buckley Jr. is now in his 80's and visibly winding up his affairs of this world. National Review, the magazine of conservative opinion that he founded and led for half a century, has been turned over to newer hands. Blackford Oakes, hero of a series of spy novels, has been heroically killed off. His production of public commentary is down to a few columns per month. 2004's "Miles ...
