What a "Friend" We Had in Bill: William F. Buckley, Jr. and the Rise, Betrayal, and Fall of Starr Broadcasting

When people think of a corporation they don t think of its board members, they think of its powerful, charismatic public face. For Starr Broadcasting, that leader was William F. Buckley, Jr., a bestselling writer and popular conservative commentator. The men behind him were Peter and Michael Starr, Buckley s prot g s from childhood, the innovative creators and loyal heads of Starr Broadcasting, Buckley s cash cow. For a decade the Starr brothers worked faithfully to make the company profitable and an industry leader, until Buckley arranged their ousting for his own gain, a betrayal that Peter never recovered from. Decades after his brother s untimely death, Michael Starr breaks his silence to set the record straight. Part memoir, part history, and part personal profile, What a Friend We Had in Bill tells a story truly unknown until now.
