1. 1. William F. Buckley Jr.

   

   A compact biography that traces his rise from a privileged, intellectually curious youth through Yale and early journalistic work to his emergence as a defining public voice of postwar American conservatism; it follows the founding of a leading conservative magazine, his forging of a “fusionist” ideology, high-profile interventions such as a mayoral campaign, and decades of televised debates that showcased his erudition, combative wit, and organizational skill, while also examining the tensions, controversies, and lasting influence of his career on the modern conservative movement.
