After attending a prestigious private school, he studied like his father William F. Buckley at Yale . There he was a member of the student fraternity " Skulls and Bones ", from which high politicians, writers and men of business emerged.

After his student years he became editor-in-chief of Esquire and speechwriter for George Bush senior . His first book “ The White House Mess ” was created from these experiences, but it remained unknown. It wasn't until his second book, " Thank you for Smoking ", that he caused a stir for the first time. This was followed by books such as “ Little Green Men ” or “ Florence of Arabia ”, both of which are also to be released as feature films.
