NYS Writers Institute: Sam Tanenhaus, author of William F. Buckley biography
Sam Tanenhaus, longtime editor of The New York Times Book Review (2004-2013), began writing his biography of William F. Buckley in 1998, ten years before Buckley’s death.
Buckley himself had selected Tanenhaus specifically for the task, granting him extensive interviews, as well as access to his private papers. A monumental work, more than a quarter century in the making, Buckley: The Life and the Revolution That Changed America, is now available to readers. More than a biography, the books helps explain the origins of latter-day Conservative politics.
Max Boot called it, “A magnificent achievement—a long, gripping, and enthralling account of the life of America’s premier conservative polemicist of the twentieth century.” The Boston Globe said “A biography not just of a prominent influencer but also of a potent movement... a milestone contribution to our understanding of the American Century.”
