An editor at the National Review and author of nine books, Brookhiser describes how iconic right-wing intellectual Buckley (1925-2008) mentored him. Buckley founded the magazine and edited it for a quarter of a century, appeared on his own television show, and wrote many popular books. He uses their professional and political relationship as a framework within which to describe the conservative movement that flourished after the 1960s.
