Bøker av William F. Buckley

Racing Through Paradise is the third entry in Bill Buckley's now classic sailing trilogy. It chronicles the author's four thousand-mile sailing voyage across the Pacific with four close friends, his son Christopher, and a photographer.

All the virtues of Bill Buckley's earlier books are here-but this one is profoundly different. The is completed (perhaps) the end of several affairs-and the capstone volume of a diarist-journal keeper-journalist, who has proved to be, over books at sea and on land (Cruising Speed, The Unmaking of a Mayor, Airborne, Atlantic High, Overdrive, Racing Through Paradise), both his own Boswell and Johnson.

In 1980, Buckley gathered together his friends and set out to sail across the Atlantic. This is what he correctly describes as a "celebration" of that thirty-day event.

Airborne is how William F. Buckley, Jr. describes his sail across the wide Atlantic with his son and five friends.

For God, for country, and for Yale... in that order, William F. Buckley Jr. wrote as the dedication of his monumental worka compendium of knowledge that still resonates within the halls of the Ivy League university that tried to cover up its political and religious bias. 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. The book, God and Man at Yale, rocked the academic world and catapulted its young author, William F. Buckley Jr. into the public spotlight. Now, half a century later, read the extraordinary work that began the modern conservative movement. Buckleys harsh assessment of his alma mater divulged the reality behind the institutions wholly secular education, even within the religion department and divinity school. Unabashed, one former Yale student details the importance of Christianity and heralds the modern conservative movement in his preeminent tell-all, God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of Academic Freedom.
