Author Description

Since the publication of God and Man at Yale in 1951, William F. Buckley Jr., founder and longtime editor of National Review, has been the most visible spokesman for American conservatism. He has also been one of the most prolific, producing thousands of columns, many hundreds of articles and reviews, almost fifty books, more than two hundred obituaries, and dozens of other pieces besides. This volume, a complete bibliography of Buckley's written work from 1951 through 2000, is a fitting tribute to his fifty years as a public intellectual. Editor William F. Meehan III's research divides Buckley's work into eleven categories and provides keywords for each of the five thousand-plus entries. A thorough index makes this a user-friendly bibliography. And an introduction by prominent historian and author George H. Nash evaluates the significance of Buckley's astonishing portfolio. Including previously unpublished photos, this research tool should find a home on the shelf of every Buckley aficionado and is a reference work for anyone interested in the intellectual and political history of twentieth-century America.--BOOK JACKET.
