"A classy piece of political-historical fiction.Buckley's true story unfolds without a hint
of didacticism or triumphalism or self-serving revisionism. On the contrary, he has transformed it into
high, pulsating drama."Sam Tanehaus, author

Getting It Right is set in the upheaval of the 1960's. The Cuban missile crisis has brought the Communist
threat to within miles of the United States, and extremist movements roil the American Right.

Two college students, Woodroe Raynor and Leonora Goldstein, meet in the fall of 1960 before embarking on
separate paths. Woodroe goes to work for the indiscriminately anti-Communist John Birch Society: through his
eyes, we see how anti-Communism defined American politics while nearly defeating itself in its own extremism.
Leonora becomes a novitiate in the libertarian-objectivist cult of novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand: through her,
we witness how sexual passion shaped Rand's movement. But a singular romance blooms as the two make
their way through the tumultuous era, navigating the political fault line that would change American history.


William F. Buckley, Jr., is the founder of National Review and was the host of television's longest-running program, Firing Line. The author of more than fifteen novels, many of them best-sellers, he won the American Book Award for best mystery for Stained Glass, the first in the series starring Blackford Oakes. He lives in Connecticut.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
