Life

Born in Hempstead, Long Island, Seabury was a native New Yorker. He graduated from Swarthmore College in 1946, and from Columbia University with a Ph.D. He taught at University of California, Berkeley starting in 1953. Once a national official of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, after the tumultuous era of student revolt at Berkeley, he became a leading spokesman for the first American neo-conservatives. He was part of the Consortium for the Study of Intelligence, which fostered intelligence studies in American universities. He served on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board during the Reagan Administration. He married Marie-Anne Phelps; they had two sons. His papers are held at the Hoover Institution. He died in Pinole, California.

Seabury was a great player of croquet, and edited a book on the game for Abercrombie and Fitch.
