Overview
When R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. was a conservative college student in 1968, he watched as Senator Robert Kennedy gave a rousing campaign speech. When Senator Kennedy asked him, āHow do we get out of here?ā Tyrrellāthe only other person onstageānot only escorted the candidate to his car but boldly pressed a āReagan for Presidentā button into the legendary Democratās hand.
This early, irreverent political prank marked Tyrrellās entrance into what would become a decades-long engagement at the heart of American politics as founder and publisher of the legendary conservative magazine, The American Spectator. Tyrrell has now written a candid memoir of those tumultuous years, complete with fascinatingāand often, uproariousābehind-the-scenes vignettes of the turbulent politics and the most prominent political and literary personalities of the era, including the Spectatorās furious political battles with Bill Clinton, the authorās close association with Ronald Reagan, his warm relations and competition with William F. Buckley of the National Review, his friendship with a post-presidential Richard Nixon, and the chaotic years of Donald Trumpās presidency.
Written in Tyrrellās trademark unfailing and bitingly satirical style, How Do We Get Out of Here? is an invaluable and intimate recount of the political and cultural battles that shaped our contemporary politics, written by a raconteur whose fearless muckraking materially impacted the politics of the modern era.
