God and Man at Yale: 50Th Anniversary Edition (Book/ Paperback)

Product Overview

In 1951, a twenty-five-year old Yale graduate published his first book, which exposed the extraordinarily irresponsible educational attitude that prevailed at his alma mater. This book rocked the academic world and catapulted its young author, William F. Buckley Jr., into the public spotlight.

William F. Buckley Jr. criticizes—with extraordinary reason and perception that has withstood the test of time—the university and faculty at Yale for fostering atheistic socialism within its student body. The ideas found in this surprise bestseller sparked a movement still active today, fighting the “politically correct” forces on campuses nationwide.

About the Author(s)

William Frank Buckley, Jr. (1925 - 2008) was an American conservative author and commentator. He founded the political magazine National Review in 1955, which had a major impact in stimulating the conservative movement. He hosted 1,429 episodes of the television show Firing Line from 1966 until 1999, where his public persona was famous for a sesquipedalian vocabulary . He also wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column, and wrote numerous spy novels. George H. Nash, a historian of the modern American conservative movement, states that Buckley was "arguably the most important public intellectual in the United States in the past half century... For an entire generation, he was the preeminent voice of American conservatism and its first great ecumenical figure."
