In "Flying High," William F. Buckley Jr. offers his lyrical
remembrance of a singular era in American politics, and a tribute
to the modern Conservative movement's first presidential
standard-bearer, Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was in many ways the
perfect candidate: self-reliant, unpretentious, unshakably honest,
and dashingly handsome. And although he lost the election, he
electrified millions of voters with his integrity and a sense of
decency--qualities that made him a natural spokesman for
Conservative ideals and an inspiration for decades to come.
In an era when Republicans are looking for a leader, "Flying
High" is a reminder of how real political visionaries inspire
devotion.
No two people were more important to American conservatism in the
postwar era than William F. Buckley Jr. and Ronald Reagan.
Buckley's writings provided the intellectual underpinnings, while
Reagan brought the conservative movement into the White House.
They met in 1961 when Reagan introduced a speech by Buckley.
When nobody could turn on the microphone, Reagan climbed out a
window, walked along a ledge to the locked control room, broke in,
and flipped the correct switch. Buckley later described this moment
as "a nifty allegory of Reagan's approach to foreign policy: the
calm appraisal of a situation, the willingness to take risks, and
then the decisive moment leading to lights and sound."
For over thirty years, the two men shared jokes and vacations,
advised each other on politics, and counseled each other's
children. "The Reagan I Knew" traces the evolution of an
extraordinary friendship between two American political giants.
"National Review" has always published letters from readers. In
1965 the magazine decided that certain letters merited different
treatment, and William F. Buckley, the editor, began a column
called "Notes & Asides" in which he personally replied to the
most notable and outrageous correspondence.
Culled from four decades of the column, "Cancel Your Own Goddam
Subscription" includes exchanges with such well-known figures as
Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, John Kenneth Galbraith, A.M.
Rosenthal, Auberon Waugh, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and many others.
There are also hilarious exchanges with ordinary readers, as well
as letters from Buckley to various organizations and government
agencies.
Combative, brilliant, and uproariously funny, "Cancel Your Own
Goddam Subscription" represents Buckley at his mischievous
best.
"Let Us Talk of Many Things," first published in 2000, brings
together Buckley's finest speeches from throughout his career.
Always deliciously provocative, they cover a vast range of topics:
the end of the Cold War, manners in politics, the failure of the
War on Drugs, the importance of winning the America's Cup, and much
else. Reissued with additional speeches, Let Us Talk of Many Things
is the ideal gift for any serious conservative.
