Flying High: Remembering Barry Goldwater
Search in google:
William F. Buckley Jr.’s first political book in nearly two decades is a revealing memoir of the first champion of the conservative movement The Washington Post - Lou Cannon …a slender but elegiac volume in which Buckley's wit and lyricism soar from beyond the grave. Few readers will mind that several of the chapters are devoted less to Goldwater than to the early days of National Review. As always, Buckley writes well about politics, but the singular achievement of this book is its nostalgic remembrance of an enduring friendship between the author and his subject.
