Description: From Library Journal
Meehan, executive director of the Minnesota Association of Scholars, has undertaken the daunting responsibility of assembling a comprehensive bibliography of the writings of William F. Buckley Jr. Beginning with Buckley's first book, God and Man at Yale, published in 1951, and ending with his writings in 2000, this bibliography contains citations to over 1500 publications. The bibliography is chronologically arranged by chapters on articles published in National Review, articles published elsewhere, nonfiction books, fiction books, obituaries, essays and contributions to books, syndicated newspaper columns, introductions and forewords to books, book reviews, and movie, music, and theater reviews. Citations include the title, source, date of publication, and page number. If the title does not supply the subject, a keyword annotation is included. Users who ignore the preface, which explains how to read the citations, may have a hard time with this book. For academic libraries with large political science collections. Joyce M.

From the Inside Flap
Since the publication of God and Man at Yale in 1951, William F. Buckley Jr., founder and longtime editor of National Review, has been the most visible spokesman for American conservatism. He has also been one of the most prolific, producing thousands of columns, many hundreds of articles and reviews, forty-five books, more than two hundred obituaries, and dozens of other pieces besides. This volume, a complete bibliography of Buckley's written work from 1951 through 2000, is a fitting tribute to his fifty years as a public intellectual. Editor William F. Meehan III's meticulous research divides Buckley's work into eleven categories and provides keywords for each of the five thousand-plus entries. A thorough index makes this an unusually user-friendly bibliography. And an introduction by prominent historian and author George H. Nash evaluates the significance of Buckley's astonishing portfolio. Including previously unpublished photos, this invaluable research tool should find a home on the shelf of every Buckley aficionado and is an essential reference work for anyone interested in the intellectual and political history of twentieth-century America.
