Ronald Reagan loved to tell stories. Sometimes he used them to
break the ice, or to prove a point, but very often he used them to
inspire, to uplift, and to remind his listeners of what matters
most in life. Recently, in the archives of the Reagan Library,
researcher Kiron Skinner unearthed a trove of handwritten Reagan
manuscripts from the late 1970s, over 650 in all, which included
some priceless examples of Reagan's storytelling abilities.
"Stories in His Own Hand" reproduces the best of these deeply
personal anecdotes.
Skinner, along with longtime Reagan aides and scholars Annelise
and Martin Anderson, has carefully documented the extent of
Reagan's manuscripts, which originated as radio transcripts.
Earlier, in the bestselling "Reagan, In His Own Hand," the editors
compiled a broad range of Reagan's policy-oriented essays from this
collection, showing an astonishing breadth of vision concerning
nearly every issue he would face as president. Here they reveal a
different Ronald Reagan: not the political but the personal man,
not the executive but the teacher.
Here is Reagan on men and women, life and death, family and
friends. Here is a man who loved to tell a story to make us all
stop, listen, and think about what it means to be human.
