This is the book that launched Buckley’s career-and a movement. As a latest graduate, Buckley had taken on Yale’s professional and administrative staffs, citing their hypocritical withdrawal from your tenets where the organization was constructed. Yale was founded on the fact that God exists, and thus virtue and individualism represent immutable cornerstones of education. But when Buckley wrote this scathing exposé, the organization had made an about-face: Yale was expounding collectivism and agnosticism. This classic work shows Buckley as he ever was: dauntless, venturesome, strong, and valiant.

More than half a century afterwards, experience the outstanding function that began the present day conservative movement.
