review 1: This book consists largely of correspondence between the Reagans and "WFB". A pretty decent listen. Given Buckley's huge vocabulary and speaking style, audiobook is the way to go for this work. (The narrator, while not Buckley, sounds sufficiently like him to make you feel it is WFB speaking.)As caustic a commentator as Buckely--whose principal occupation was most likely a CIA higher up--it's nice to see that he was a gentleman.
review 2: "I am a voracious reader. My idea of Hades is to find myself in a hotel room without a book to read." - Ronald ReaganWill we ever again see two such great communicators of conservatism?This was a personal and intimate peek into their friendship, and I feel privileged to have been allowed the look. I did not, unfortunately a... morend to my detriment, embraced Mr. Buckley during his lifetime as I was not aware of his amazing intellect. I have remedied that situation in recent years. However, I vividly remember President Reagan, having voted for him, and the inspiration and prosperity he brought to our country when it was sorely needed. To read the letters exchanged and memories recanted between the two was a treat! less
