Pages : 348
Book Description
“Clever...a good introduction not only to Buckley and smart conservative thought but (strange concept) a sadly disappeared politics of civility.” — Los Angeles Times “Hendershot does more than tell the history of a uniquely influential show and personality; her thorough, compelling, and very readable book provides a three-decade journey through the center of the nation’s intellectual life.” — Publishers Weekly “A thoroughly researched work replete with intelligence, admiration, balanced criticism, and even a bit of nostalgia.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Hendershot lauds Buckley for the intelligence, honesty, wit, civility, and élan with which he developed meaningful dialogues ... A cogent reminder of what political broadcasting could be.” — Booklist (starred review) “William F. Buckley and his long-running, unique show Firing Line provides a window (if sometimes a curved mirror) through which to see a turbulent and transformative time in American politics. If you want to step into a time machine for a look back, this book is your ticket.” — Ira Glasser, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director 1978-2001 (retired), currently Board President, Drug Policy Alliance

Wherever the Firing Line Extends
Author: Ronan McGreevy
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750969016
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
The First World War was the biggest conflict in Irish history. More men served and more men died than in all the wars before or since that the Irish fought in. Often forgotten at home and written out of Irish history, the Irish soldiers and their regiments found themselves more honoured in foreign fields. From the first shot monument in Mons to the plaque to the Royal Irish Lancers who liberated the town on Armistice Day 1918, Ronan McGreevy takes a tour of the Western Front. At a time when Ireland is revisiting its history and its place in the world, McGreevy looks at those places where the Irish made their mark and are remembered in the monuments, cemeteries and landscapes of France and Flanders.

By Motor To The Firing Line:
Author: Walter Hale
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1782891889
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
[Illustrated with 47 paintings and photos] Walter Hale was a man of many talents - actor, writer, artist and war correspondent - before his life was cut short by cancer in 1917. It is fitting, however, that he was able to visit the front lines of the Western Front during the First World War, for the sights and stories that he recorded with pen, camera and paintbrush were well worth recording. That he was in the right time and place he put down to good luck; however, it seems only fair to record that he seems to have made his own luck on what would be a hard driven tour of the beleaguered front. As the author confirms in his introduction, his work is not a military history, but a portrait of the people, places, buildings and landscapes of Northern France and the effect of war on them.
