SUMMARY:Essex Library: Author Talk with Sam Tanenhaus: Buckley- The Life and the Revolution That Changed America
DESCRIPTION:Register HERE. \nIn 1951\, with the publication of God and Man at Yale\, a scathing attack on his alma mater\, twenty-five-year-old William F. Buckley\, Jr.\, seized the public stage—and commanded it for the next half century as he led a new generation of conservative activists and ideologues to the peak of political power and cultural influence. \nTen years before his death in 2008\, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full\, uncensored story of his life and times\, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. Thus began a deep investigation into the vast and often hidden universe of Bill Buckley and the modern conservative revolution. \nBuckley vividly captures its subject in all his facets and phases: founding editor of National Review\, the twentieth century’s most influential political journal; syndicated columnist\, Emmy-winning TV debater\, and bestselling spy novelist; ally of Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater; mentor to Ronald Reagan; game-changing candidate for mayor of New York. \nTanenhaus also has uncovered the darker trail of Bill Buckley’s secret exploits\, including CIA missions in Latin America\, dark collusions with Watergate felon Howard Hunt\, and Buckley’s struggle in his last years to hold together a movement coming apart over the AIDS epidemic\, culture wars\, and the invasion of Iraq—even as his own media empire was unraveling. \nAt a crucial moment in American history\, Buckley offers a gripping and powerfully relevant story about the birth of modern politics and those who shaped it. \nJoin us in welcoming Sam Tanenhaus for a memorable evening of American history. With thanks to Southeast Connecticut World Affairs Council for their collaboration on this event.
