Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s intimate memoir, detailing his leadership in the conservative movement and his relationships with its major personalities from 1968 to the present.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen 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, \"How do we get out of here?\" Tyrrell--the only other person onstage--not only escorted the candidate to his car but boldly pressed a \"Reagan for President\" button into the legendary Democrat's hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This early, irreverent political prank marked Tyrrell's entrance into what would become a decades-long engagement at the heart of American politics as founder and publisher of the legendary conservative magazine, \u003ci\u003eThe American Spectator\u003c\/i\u003e. Tyrrell has now written a candid memoir of those tumultuous years, complete with fascinating--and often, uproarious--behind-the-scenes vignettes of the turbulent politics and the most prominent political and literary personalities of the era, including the \u003ci\u003eSpectator's\u003c\/i\u003e furious political battles with Bill Clinton, the author's close association with Ronald Reagan, his warm relations and competition with William F. Buckley of the \u003ci\u003eNational Review\u003c\/i\u003e, his friendship with a post-presidential Richard Nixon, and the chaotic years of Donald Trump's presidency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in Tyrrell's trademark unfailing and bitingly satirical style, \u003ci\u003eHow Do We Get Out of Here?\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
