...Has a young Saint Paul emerged from the Yale class of 1950 to bring us the long-awaited Good tidings of a New Conservatism and Old Morality? The trumpets of advance publicity imply it. However, this Paul-in-a-hurry skips the preequisite of first being a rebel Saul. the difference between the easy, booster affirmation that precedes the dark night of the soul and the hard-won, tragic affirmation that follows it... Books of the Century, New York Times review, November,1951
This is the book that launched Buckley's career-and a movement. As a young recent graduate, Buckley took on Yale's professional and administrative staffs, citing their hypocritical withdrawal from the tenets upon which the institution was built. Yale was founded on the belief that God exists, and thus virtue and individualism represent immutable cornerstones of education. But when Buckley wrote this scathing exposé, the institution had made an about-face: Yale was expounding collectivism and agnosticism. This classic work shows Buckley as he ever was: dauntless, venturesome, bold, and valiant.
More than half a century later, experience the extraordinary work that began the modern conservative movement.
