After receiving a classical education at Portsmouth Abbey School, Buckley worked his way around the world as a deckhand on a Norwegian tramp freighter.

He graduated cum laude from Yale University in 1976.

He joined the staff of Esquire magazine in 1976 and seven months later was promoted at age 24 to managing editor.

1980

In 1980 he returned to sea aboard an American ship and made eight mid-winter transatlantic crossings between U.S. Gulf ports and North Sea ports in England and Germany.

1981

In 1981, he moved to Washington, D.C. to become chief speechwriter to Vice President George H.W. Bush.

1982

The experience was the basis for his first bestselling non-fiction book, Steaming to Bamboola: The World of a Tramp Freighter, published in 1982.

1986

His first bestselling novel, The White House Mess, published in 1986, was a satire on White House office politics and political memoirs.

1989

In 1989, Malcolm S. Forbes hired Buckley to start up a supplement to Forbes magazine.

2008

In summer and fall 2008, Christopher Buckley wrote the back-page column for National Review, the conservative magazine founded by his father.

In October 2008, Buckley wrote a column endorsing Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, choosing to have it published in The Daily Beast to avoid backlash from National Review readers.

After many National Review readers and contributors still expressed their displeasure, Buckley resigned from that publication.

The Beast's title for his endorsement, "Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama", was found by many of his father's friends and supporters to be offensive, particularly as it appeared shortly after his father's death.

Buckley disavowed the choice of title, although he continued to occasionally write for the Beast.
