New York Times Book ReviewBoth a dual biography of Buckley and Baldwin and an acute commentary on a great intellectual prizefight. . . . [Nicholas Buccola] deftly guides the reader through the rhetorical and philosophical moves of Baldwin’s speech. . . . The Fire Is Upon Us becomes revelatory in its interpretation of Buckley’s performance. . . . It is tempting to view the Baldwin-Buckley debate as a small victory for the idea of racial equality: Baldwin carried the floor vote 544 to 164.

Buckley Jr. on YouTube. … Buccola’s book reveals the story behind it. The two men were born just 15 months apart, yet grew up in separate Americas. Buccola provides an exegesis of the lives of both men, and an evaluation of a century-defining debate. The fault lines between Buckley and Baldwin are just as relevant as ever.---Soraya Nadia McDonald, The UndefeatedBaldwin won the debate hands down, but the event itself is mere scaffolding for the more ambitious and interesting book Buccola achieves: a genealogy of how white supremacy and attempts to slay it have stayed at the center of American politics for more than half a century, up to and including our Trumpian present.---Bill V. Mullen, Los Angeles Review of BooksThe Fire Is Upon Us makes a compelling case for why Baldwin and Buckley were who they were and, in doing so, serves as a good starting point for understanding the nature of the present partisan divide.---Aaron Robertson, LitHubNicholas Buccolas The Fire Is upon Us is a riveting, expansive companion text to a historic debate that swept the nation. . . . Following the mens journeys with meticulous detail, Buccolas biographical/historical/political hybrid proffers valuable insights for the current day. Foreword ReviewsA study of two acclaimed American thinkers on opposite sides of the political spectrum that underscores the enormous race and class divisions in 1960s America, many of which still exist today. . . . An elucidating work that makes effective use of comparison and contrast. Kirkus ReviewsThe Fire Is Upon Us . . . sets the context for the epic confrontation, illuminating two vastly different visions of race
