Gratitude by William F. Buckley Jr.

Reflections on What We Owe to Our Country

A concise, elegiac memoir of thanks in which the author looks back over a long public life with wit and warmth, offering personal anecdotes and portraits of family, friends, and colleagues while reflecting on faith, politics, and the formative experiences that shaped his character; the book reads as a gracious, unsentimental expression of appreciation for the people and events—both large and small—that made his life meaningful.
