Welcome, history buffs, political junkies, and controversialists. I’m a journalist, biographer, and historian, who writes about everything from today’s headlines to the Constitutional Convention; from the Federalist Party, to the Marijuana Reform Party; from the battle of Saratoga to the Terror War. Here you’ll find out about my books—including my latest, Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Movement—my journalism, and my public appearances. You’ll be interested, entertained, challenged.

William F. Buckley, Jr. (1925-2008) changed the world. I was at his side during the years the world noticed it. George Will once said, “without Buckley, no National Review; without National Review, no conservative takeover of the Republican party; without that, no Reagan; without Reagan, no victory in the Cold War.”
