Overview

William F. Buckley Jr., who passed away in 2008, shaped America more than any other journalist of the 20th century. The father of the modern conservative movement, Buckley made a profound impression on Americans not only through his charm, sharp wit, and polysyllabic vocabulary, but also through his impressive body of work--more than 50 books, thousands of columns, hundreds of speeches, and countless hours on the airwaves. Now, in a heartwarming collection, James C. Humes captures Buckley's intelligence, keen insights, and glowing sense of humor as only an insider can. Spanning never-before-published material, this compilation also includes commentary about Buckley from friends and foes, analysis of his great talks and debate performances, and entertaining stories from Buckley's incredibly rich and varied life. The Wit and Wisdom of William F. Buckley Jr. is an exceptional homage to a truly fascinating figure.
