Om forfatteren
Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1911 - 2004 Ronald Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois on February 6, 1911. He worked his way through Eureka College, where he studied economics and sociology. After graduation, he became a radio sports announcer for WOC, a small radio station in Davenport, Iowa. Reagan vis mere enlisted in the Army Reserve. An agent for Warner Brothers "discovered" him in Los Angeles in 1937 and offered him a seven-year contract. He played George Gipp in his most acclaimed film, "Knute Rockne -- All American" in 1940. In 1942, the Army Air Force called him to active duty and assigned him to the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Culver City, California, where he made over 400 training films. On December 9, 1945, he was discharged. During the next two decades he appeared in 53 films. As president of the Screen Actors Guild, he became embroiled in disputes over the issue of Communism in the film industry and his political views shifted from liberal to conservative. He toured the country as a television host, becoming a spokesman for conservatism. In 1966, he was elected Governor of California and was re-elected in 1970. For several months after his gubernatorial term ended in 1974, he wrote a syndicated newspaper column and provided commentaries on radio stations across the country. On November 20, 1975, Reagan announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president. He lost the party's nomination, but his showing laid the groundwork for the 1980 election. After winning the party's nomination in 1980, he chose George Bush as his running mate. Reagan won the election and was President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. At the end of his administration, the Nation was enjoying its longest recorded period of peacetime prosperity without recession or depression. In 1994, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He died on June 5, 2004. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

An American Life af Ronald Reagan
Caveat: didn't finish. Wasn't interested in his politics. I have Peggy Noonan for that. It sounds like Reagan... but I was disappointed, somewhat, in his positivity and the lack of depth to the earlier time in his life. Perhaps that's just his way or a result of time passing. Who knows?
History can be read from a number of perspectives, but there's nothing like reading it first hand. Other authors can provide their perspectives of the Reagan presidency, and interpret the president's words and actions, but this abridged review of Reagan's diary gives you a look at history in the President's own words. This is an abridged selection, but covers most of the truly significant aspects from Reagan's term of office. Very insightful, informative, and interesting, and an excellent review of what took place during those years.… (mere)
Excellent compilation of Reagan’s speeches on his belief in God.
This is the story of Ronald Reagan-public and private life- both frank and compellingly readable, richly detailed and deeply human...a brilliant self-portrait.
