DJ has some wear, soiling, tears, and chips. Some edge soiling. William Frank Buckley Jr. (born William Francis Buckley; November 24, 1925 - February 27, 2008) was an Amer…ican conservative author and commentator. He founded National Review magazine in 1955, which had a major impact in stimulating the conservative movement; hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line (1966-1999), where he became known for his transatlantic accent and wide vocabulary; and wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column along with numerous spy novels. George H. Nash, a historian of the modern American conservative movement, said Buckley was "arguably the most important public intellectual in the United States in the past half century? For an entire generation, he was the preeminent voice of American conservatism and its first great ecumenical figure." Buckley's primary contribution to politics was a fusion of traditional American political conservatism with laissez-faire economic theory and anti-communism, laying groundwork for the new American conservatism of presidential candidate Barry Goldwater and President Ronald Reagan, both Republicans. Former Senate Republican leader Bob Dole said "Buckley lighted the fire". Buckley wrote God and Man at Yale (1951) and more than fifty other books on writing, speaking, history, politics, and sailing, including a series of novels featuring CIA agent Blackford Oakes. Buckley referred to himself as either a libertarian or conservative. A compilation of sayings from the conservative thinker and writer. This is an alphabetical compendium of the wit and wisdom of William F. Buckley, Jr. Buckley founded The National Review in 1955 and went on to author, "On the Right," a widely syndicated newspaper column, and host "Firing Line," a weekly television show. The title, with its sly reference to the "Quotations of Chairman Mao," illustrates Buckley's combative pleasure at using these platforms to puncture the liberal/left orthodoxies of the day. With David Franke's Compiler's Note. Franke was an early member of the conservative movement, holding editorial positions with The National Review, Arlington House, and the Conservative Book Club. He selected these 880 quotes from Buckley's books, editorials, speeches, and columns. An excellent introduction to the thought of a founding father of American conservatism.
