Reviews
"A magnificent, absorbing work about a man known as the father of postwar American conservatism, and one that will lead to a lot of debate." -- Chronicles Magazine "This exhaustive, prodigiously researched book familiarizes us not only with Buckley's sometimes incendiary public persona, but also his relationships with friends and family--among them his novelist son Christopher--his various aches and pains and his travels. Tanenhaus treats us to an account of Buckley's youthful adventures in the CIA that stands comparison with the best John le Carré spy fiction . . . Tanenhaus is to be congratulated for his achievement." -- The Spectator World "Sam Tanenhaus's Buckley is a magnificent achievement--a long, gripping, and enthralling account of the life of America's premier conservative polemicist of the twentieth century. You cannot understand the rise of the conservative movement in modern America without understanding the life of William F. Buckley, Jr., and you cannot understand Buckley's long and eventful life without reading Sam Tanenhaus's deeply researched and profoundly insightful magnum opus." --Max Boot, author of Reagan: His Life and Legend "Sam Tanenhaus's sparkling prose makes an already compelling subject irresistible. Not only a psychologically astute and subtle biography of a seminal figure, Buckley is now the definitive intellectual history of the conservative movement. William F. Buckley forever changed America, and Tanenhaus's Buckley will forever change how we understand America." --John Ganz, author of When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s "Sam Tanenhaus has done more than produce an engrossing biography of one of the most significant political and journalistic figures of the second half of the twentieth century. He has illuminated the often ugly ideological origins of our present predicament." --Jonathan Alter, author of His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life "A stone-cold masterpiece . . . Buckley is a brilliant portrait of man, movement, and age." --Geoffrey Kabaservice, author of Rule and Ruin: The Downfall of Moderation and the Destruction of the Republican Party, from Eisenhower to the Tea Party " Buckley is all that a biography could and should be: penetrating, deeply researched, respectful but critical." --Beverly Gage, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century "Writing with superb insight into celebrity culture, Tanenhaus nails Buckley for many lapses of judgment, while also revealing his countless acts of unpublicized generosity." --Richard Wightman Fox, author of Lincoln's Body, "A magnificent, absorbing work about a man known as the father of postwar American conservatism, and one that will lead to a lot of debate." -- Chronicles Magazine "This book, apparently 20 years in the making, is the product of immense learning and shows a rare familiarity with its subject and his times. The author moves me to bestow a reviewer's cliché I long ago vowed never to use, except in cases of extreme unction: he has surely written the definitive biography. This exhaustive, prodigiously researched book familiarizes us not only with Buckley's sometimes incendiary public persona, but also his relationships with friends and family--among them his novelist son Christopher--his various aches and pains and his travels. Tanenhaus treats us to an account of Buckley's youthful adventures in the CIA that stands comparison with the best John le Carré spy fiction . . .

Buckley, the godfather of so much that is best and worst about today's politics. And there is nobody better equipped to tell that story than Sam Tanenhaus, whose eloquence and incisive judgment make his book a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what the conservative movement once was and what it has come to be. Buckley is all that a biography could and should be: penetrating, deeply researched, respectful but critical." --Beverly Gage, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century "Sam Tanenhaus's masterly biography of William F. Buckley displays commanding knowledge, and deep understanding of a life and a family in all their quirky humanity--pulling off the high-wire act of documenting the Buckleys' class privilege without reducing them to it. Writing with superb insight into celebrity culture, Tanenhaus nails Buckley for many lapses of judgment, while also revealing his countless acts of unpublicized generosity." --Richard Wightman Fox, author of Lincoln's Body, "Sam Tanenhaus's Buckley is a magnificent achievement--a long, gripping, and enthralling account of the life of America's premier conservative polemicist of the 20th century.

Synopsis
"A magnificent achievement--a long, gripping, and enthralling account of the life of America's premier conservative polemicist of the twentieth century."--Max Boot, author of Reagan: His Life and Legend "A rich, immersive biography exposes the roots of the modern conservative movement through the life of the firebrand writer and commentator who shaped it."-- The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) In 1951, with the publication of God and Man at Yale , a scathing attack on his alma mater, twenty-five-year-old William F. Buckley, Jr., seized the public stage--and commanded it for the next half century as he led a new generation of conservative activists and ideologues to the peak of political power and cultural influence. Ten years before his death in 2008, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full, uncensored story of his life and times, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. Thus began a deep investigation into the vast and often hidden universe of Bill Buckley and the modern conservative revolution. Buckley vividly captures its subject in all his facets and phases: founding editor of National Review, the twentieth century's most influential political journal; syndicated columnist, Emmy-winning TV debater, and bestselling spy novelist; ally of Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater; mentor to Ronald Reagan; game-changing candidate for mayor of New York. Tanenhaus also has uncovered the darker trail of Bill Buckley's secret exploits, including CIA missions in Latin America, dark collusions with Watergate felon Howard Hunt, and Buckley's struggle in his last years to hold together a movement coming apart over the AIDS epidemic, culture wars, and the invasion of Iraq--even as his own media empire was unraveling. At a crucial moment in American history, Buckley offers a gripping and powerfully relevant story about the birth of modern politics and those who shaped it.
