A superb biography. If you are conservative or are interested in conservatism, this book is a feast. All of the themes and impulses we continue to see today, from America First to the culture wars, can be traced through the life of Buckley.

“Neil Reynolds was one of the best persons who ever went through that place down there," J.K. reflected when he spoke to me two decades later.
"We liked him a great deal," interjected J.K.'s son Jim.
"The guy had great talent, great vision," J.K. added. "Mr. Reynolds hit the ball out of the ballpark."
In August of 1994, Neil Reynolds was fired.”
