- Сын Уильяма Бакли и его жены Патрисии. Закончил Портсмутскую церковную школу (Portsmouth Abbey School в г. Портсмут, Род-Айленд), затем Йельский университет, где вступил в тайное общество «Череп и кости». Был руководящим редактором журнала «Esquire». Работал главным спичрайтером вице-президента Джорджа Буша-старшего. Опыт работы в этой должности помог ему написать роман «Суматоха в Белом доме», который является сатирой на политику аппарата Белого дома и политические мемуары. В другом его сатирическом романе, «Здесь курят», который получил значительную известность, главным героем является табачный лоббист Ник Нейлор, пропагандирующий курение. По мотивам романа снят одноимённый фильм, вышедший в 2006 году.

The judge hunter par Christopher Buckley
Enjoyed . Humorous bits, real life historical characters and events an easy to follow plot, it not simplistic. Needs more parrot and the ending troubled me a bit
Not only were these extraordinary people fascinating, but the writing was inspired. There is something compelling about a well turned phrase...
This was a real quick read. I tend to like memoirs and this one is a bit more interesting than most because of all those years listening to the family talk about National Review etc. But it's also a good story because of the public life they led and because Buckley doesn't hold back. He writes as much about family disagreements and quirks as he does about his love for his parents.
