Book Reviews of Miles Gone By
Book Review: Lifetime of enjoyment for Buckley admirers.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a wonderful parting gift from WFB. He reads essays (unabridged) from his literary autobiography , using decades of writings to illustrate the course of his own life.
You simply cannot get his unique voice and cadence out of your head after listening to this. And not surprisingly, you find he speaks it with a bit different emphasis than you would think upon reading it - added value.
The best thing I can say, is that listening to these discs gives you the palpable feeling that Bill and you are sitting in Stamford on the Long Island Sound as he tells you all about his life.
An absolute treasure for those who loved him.

Summary of Miles Gone By
In this autobiography, woven from personal pieces composed over the course of a celebrated writing life of more than fifty years, you'll meet William Buckley the boy, growing up in a family of ten children; Buckley the political enfant terrible, whose debut book, God and Man at Yale, was a New York Times best-seller; Buckley the editor of National Review, hailed as the founder of the modern conservative movement; Buckley the family man; Buckley the spy and novelist of spies; and Buckley the bon vivant. You'll also meet Buckley's friends: Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, Clare Boothe Luce, Tom Wolfe, David Niven, and many others.Along the way, listeners will be treated to Buckley's romance with wine, his love of the right word, his intoxication with music, and his joy in skiing and travel.
