Strictly Right: William F. Buckley Jr. and the American Conservative Movement
by Linda Bridges, John R. Coyne (Author)

Description
Would there be an American conservative movement without William F. Buckley, Jr.? Perhaps. Would it be the robust, broad-based, politically dominant force that it is today? Almost certainly not. When he launched National Review in 1955, Buckley forged a powerful alliance among libertarians, traditionalists, anti-Communists, and other fractious factions of the right, focusing their attention on a single objective: to break the liberal stranglehold on America. Here, two longtime Buckley show more colleagues place his many accomplishments in their original contexts for a unique view of the man, the journal, and how they shaped the most important political and social movement of the last half century.--From publisher description. show lessTags
