Reagan: A Life In Letters

Now in paperback, the New York Times bestselling collection of Ronald Reagan's letters - a definitive look at a man, an era, and a presidency.

Ronald Reagan's legacy remains as profound today as ever; indeed, George W Bush is known to be strongly influenced by the Great Communicator. Now, in what may be the most important collection of Reagan correspondence yet, the editors of this book draw from exclusive access to the former president's complete collection of letters - numbering in the tens of thousands - to reveal the man as never before.

From his youthful days of financial struggle, through the Hollywood years and his two terms as California governor, to his extraordinary presidency, Reagan never stopped writing to friends, family, supporters, and even opponents. Readers will be astonished to learn that he kept up a running correspondence for years with several ordinary Americans; that he exchanged numerous letters with the likes of Frank Sinatra and John Wayne; and that he revealed his innermost thoughts, making political history in many of them. The result is a uniquely comprehensive portrait of our fortieth president: a young boy who loved football, a budding politician, a divorced father, and a world leader.

'Reagan: A Life In Letters' is a classic look at one of the 20th century's most pivotal figures.
