The Collected Speeches

Let Us Talk of Many Things, first published in 2000, brings together Buckley’s finest speeches from throughout his career. Always deliciously provocative, they cover a vast range of topics: the end of the Cold War, manners in politics, the failure of the War on Drugs, the importance of winning the America’s Cup, and much else.

Elliot Abrams
This is Buckley at his eloquent best-his patented combination of icy wit with a deeply serious intellectual analysis. In these speeches-which include everything from Buckley's Class Day Remarks at Yale in 1950, to eulogies, debates and commencement addresses-there emerges the history of social change and political upheaval in this half century. But this is no languorous look back, no mellow memoir: These entries were written and spoken in the heat of battle, and they show it. Ignoring the maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum, Buckley skewers two generations of frauds, mountebanks, fellow travelers, and just plain liberals. But you can't read just one. In fact, I bet you can't resist reading entry after entry aloud just for the sheer fun of it.

Milton Friedman
A remarkable and moving record of a passionate life devoted to the cause of freedom-a record not by a third party or based on recollection, but embedded in a cornucopia of eloquent, speeches capturing the spirit of the time.

Peter Robinson, Hoover Institution
Let Us Talk of Many Things is an astonishing book. Each speech is completely, compellingly, wonderfully readable--every single one of them.

Ed Koch
Reading Bill Buckley's collected speeches, which cover the last half of the 20th century, is an exhilarating experience. The cogency of his arguments and his delivery are so extraordinarily persuasive that if this collection is as widely read as it should be, it will cause havoc in liberal salons. This is one of the few books devoted to the thoughts of one person that will be read from cover to cover.

Andrew Ferguson, The Weekly Standard
In one of the speeches collected here, Bill Buckley instructs a class of eighteen-year-olds on their paramount responsibility-to enjoy yourself as you go. There lies the key to Buckley's extraordinary career, which like this book spans a half century (and counting), from pre-Korea to post-Lewinsky. Whether as novelist, editor, prose stylist, or public speaker, he always makes clear the pleasure he derives from intellectual engagement. The pleasure is infectious, and anyone who reads this exhilarating book will catch it too.

George Nash
Readers of all persuasions will read this splendid anthology for sheer pleasure. Wise historians will study it as an invaluable guide to the intellectual life of our times.

George Will
Since young Buckley took Yale to task almost 50 years ago, he has been taking the English language out for invigorating romps. As a result, his collected speeches are a high-spirited tour through the great controversies that have shaped both politics and culture. If you doubt that, or wonder why it is that Bill Buckley is the most consequential journalist and most skillful controversialist of our time, this delightful volume is for you. It is also for any reader who relishes wit in the service of moral convictions.
