Summary
In these interviews, Roger Scruton reveals what life was like growing up in High Wycombe, how he survived Cambridge and how he came to hold his conservative outlook. He tells of his rise to prominence while writing for "The Times" and sheds light on his campaign on behalf of underground dissidents in Eastern Europe.
