"Reading these diaries, Americans will find it easier to understand how
Reagan did what he did for so long . . . They paint a portrait of a
president who was engaged by his job and had a healthy perspective on
power."
--Jon Meacham, Newsweek
During his two terms as the 40th president of the United States, Ronald
Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded his innermost thoughts
and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine
occurrences of his presidency. To read these diaries--now compiled into
one volume by noted historian Douglas Brinkley and filled with Reagan's
trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor--is to gain a unique
understanding of one of our nation's most fascinating leaders.
