Buckley","William Frank Buckley, Jr. was an American conservative author and commentator. He founded the political magazine National Review in 1955, hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line from 1966 until 1999, and was a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist. His writing style was famed for its erudition, wit, and use of uncommon words.\r\n\r\nGeorge H. Nash, a historian of the modern American conservative movement, believed that 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 change to politics was the fusion of traditional American political conservatism with laissez-faire economic theory and anti-communism, laying the groundwork for the modern American conservatism of U.S. presidential candidates Barry Goldwater and President Ronald Reagan.\r\n\r\nBuckley wrote first *God and Man at Yale* (1951); among over fifty further books on writing, speaking, history, politics and sailing, were a series of novels featuring CIA agent Blackford Oakes. Buckley referred to himself as either a libertarian or conservative. He resided in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut. He was a practicing Roman Catholic, regularly attending the traditional Latin Mass in Connecticut.\r\n\r\n([Source][1])\r\n\r\n\r\n  [1]: http:\u002F\u002Fen.wikipedia.org\u002Fwiki\u002FWilliam_F._Buckley,_Jr.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fauthors\u002F01\u002F01kv3j84g96zyvvzp193rvvaea.jpg","24 November 1925","27 February 2008",null,"OL33168A",[14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21],"William F.

Buckley's extended meditation on the pleasures of sailing and good company. Not surprisingly, as much thought seems to have gone into stocking the wine cellar as to charting out the route. Kon-Tiki, this is not, but nor is it meant to be. Instead, it is an essay on appreciation, and a chance for Buckley to share his spirited point of view and exercise his unique sense of humor.After a leisurely, aside-filled discussion of other trips, Buckley sets out with several close friends and a photographer to make his second trans-Atlantic crossing. The first provided the basis for his popular book, Airborne. When asked by People magazine why he chose to make the journey again, Buckley replies with characteristic drollness, \"the wedding night is never enough.\" It is a passion for sailing that motivates Buckley and enlivens his pages.The book ranges fluidly from observation to speculation, from humorous character sketch to wry editorial commentary. It is peppered with anecdotes, including one in which Buckley, armed with a hacksaw, breaks into a boatyard to steal his own boat back from an unscrupulous repairman. In another, an aide to president Reagan calls to discuss a conflict brewing in Africa, and all Buckley can think about is the weather ahead of him and his crew. The real focus of Atlantic High, however, is the voyage and the crewmembers who share it. From the Mujeres Islands to Fiji to Bermuda, to Sao Miguel and Gibraltar and beyond, the reader is treated to Buckley's observations of the places he visits and the people he encounters. A work as hard to categorize as Buckley himself, Atlantic High offers a glimpse into the good life on the high seas.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kv3j880jdbas5nta6rtf4d5p.jpg?v=39ebc9db33","L7S$ov?b~q?bM{j[xuay%MofM{fQ",1982,261,[63,64],{"id":4,"slug":5,"name":6},{"id":48,"slug":49,"name":50},[66],{"id":67,"name":26,"slug":27,"is_fiction":28},88,[],true,[],[72,78,85,92,98,104,111,116,121,127,132,137],{"id":73,"slug":74,"name":75,"photo_url":11,"works_count":76,"top_genres":77,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kp78n80k3s99rfak3xpkxqny","who-hq-rikk","Who HQ",17,[],{"id":79,"slug":80,"name":81,"photo_url":82,"works_count":83,"top_genres":84,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kk07qwc1hawaeqcwdt5k9mwp","kathleen-krull-yl2p","Kathleen Krull","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fauthors\u002F01\u002F01kk07qwc1hawaeqcwdt5k9mwp.jpg",16,[],{"id":86,"slug":87,"name":88,"photo_url":89,"works_count":90,"top_genres":91,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kjr9ns9e1edfexmwwsm8xfze","james-herriot-mjgu","James Herriot","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fauthors\u002F01\u002F01kjr9ns9e1edfexmwwsm8xfze.jpg",14,[],{"id":93,"slug":94,"name":95,"photo_url":11,"works_count":96,"top_genres":97,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kjxfqj4w7cghjw50dqcdtbep","stacy-schiff-rlby","Stacy Schiff",12,[],{"id":99,"slug":100,"name":101,"photo_url":102,"works_count":96,"top_genres":103,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kptzqp0sg090qe2856p8zphh","mick-wall-0mf0","Mick Wall","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fauthors\u002F01\u002F01kptzqp0sg090qe2856p8zphh.jpg",[],{"id":105,"slug":106,"name":107,"photo_url":108,"works_count":109,"top_genres":110,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kjq75ejvmfz774zehyaqdp9x","walter-isaacson-ryap","Walter Isaacson","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fauthors\u002F01\u002F01kjq75ejvmfz774zehyaqdp9x.jpg",11,[],{"id":112,"slug":113,"name":114,"photo_url":11,"works_count":109,"top_genres":115,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kjv3d3jffdnpe8jqf08vfbfg","brian-masters-vcnl","Brian Masters",[],{"id":117,"slug":118,"name":119,"photo_url":11,"works_count":109,"top_genres":120,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01knsy2j56baxhy3xx6rn0xay4","editors-of-time-for-kids-3pnz","Editors Of Time For Kids",[],{"id":122,"slug":123,"name":124,"photo_url":11,"works_count":125,"top_genres":126,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01knzgnv3dwcvzeb9fm591evwt","howard-sounes-jptw","Howard Sounes",10,[],{"id":128,"slug":129,"name":130,"photo_url":11,"works_count":125,"top_genres":131,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kpbh76ys23g20s3fm7bg3jwh","victor-bockris-s7dg","Victor Bockris",[],{"id":133,"slug":134,"name":135,"photo_url":11,"works_count":125,"top_genres":136,"affinity_score":23,"featured_cover_url":11,"featured_cover_blurhash":11},"01kpcc0brb5z9b5e8mrg12pfnp","stephen-b-oates-kj1c","Stephen B.
