Reagan, in His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan That Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America
Author: Kiron K Skinner
Hidden in the archives of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for more than a decade, the writings contained in Reagan, In His Own Hand redefine the way we think about American history of the past quarter century and about the fortieth American president. By revealing an active mind wrestling with the problems of a sluggish economy, social pathologies, welfare reform, and the Cold War struggle with the Soviet Union, these never-before-seen documents, many reproduced in his own handwriting, prove Reagan to be both the visionary and intellectual powerhouse behind his administration's landmark policies.

This book should once and for all demolish the myth that Ronald Regan was a simple man who only had a couple of strongly held ideas. He was an un-commonly capable communicator, who wisely never conveyed an Al Gore-like policy wonk. In his day many pundits and members of his own party felt Regan was vague on many issues. This volume will be a bit of a surprise to these folks. (5 Feb 2001)
