Tumbling Down

THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL

William F. Buckley Jr. was 19 at the time of the Yalta Conference, which ceded much of Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union, and 66 when the Soviet Union officially ceased to exist. Between those two points Buckley devoted himself to the cause of anti-Communism, ending up in what might as well have been a dead heat with Ronald Reagan for the rank of foremost Cold Warrior in the nation. Now Buckley has published a book that examines what was taking place inside the Evil Empire while he was busy containing it.
