Buckley Jr., revealing new aspects of WFB -Why the New York Times dubbed Edwards "The 'Voice' of the Silent Majority" -How he organized the largest public demonstration in support of our men in Vietnam-How he created the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, pushing against the federal bureaucracy for two decades to make it happenLee Edwards's memoir appears at a critical time in the history of American conservatism.
