Speak Bill of the Dead

READ MORE ABOUT THE BOOK Dear National Review friends, Christopher Buckley has already declared it, "William F. Buckley, Jr.'s finest book ever." Crown Forum will be publishing A Torch Kept Lit: Great Lives of the Twentieth Century by our founder, William F. Buckley, Jr., on October 4th, 2016. It's Bill's most provocative and thoughtful remembrances, compiled by Fox News correspondent, James Rosen. Apart from his most noted successes—foundingThe National Review, welcoming viewers to Firing Line, penning a dozen bestselling books—Buckley too, was a master of that most elusive of art forms: the eulogy. He drew on his unrivaled gifts in what he liked to call "the controversial arts" to mourn, celebrate, or seek eternal mercy for the men and women who touched his life and the nation. Of the more than 200 eulogies located in Buckley's vast archive of published works, A Torch Kept Lit collects the very best, those remembering the most consequential lives (Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan), the most famous to today's readers (Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Jacqueline Onassis, Princess Diana), those who loomed largest in the conservative movement (Milton Friedman, Russell Kirk), the most accomplished in the literary world (Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, William Shawn), the most mysterious (Soviet spy Alger Hiss, CIA spymaster Richard Helms), and those most dear to WFB (his wife and parents). It's a publication that's very dear to us at The National Review, and one that I hope is meaningful to you as a reader of this magazine and participant in Bill's legacy.
