Don't miss one of our greatest presidents' bestselling
autobiographies in his own words. Ronald Reagan's story is a work
of major historical importance, a narrative that "The Washington
Times" calls "one of our classic American success stories."
Ronald Reagan's "The Notes" is a fascinating window into the mind of the fortieth U.S. President and the writers and thinkers to whom he turned for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope. Collected by the Ronald Reagan Foundation, the book includes both Reagan's own writing and his favorite quotations, proverbs, and excerpts from speeches, poetry, and literature. The breadth of these notes sheds light on a man who was deeply engaged with the arts, culture, and politics, from his time as one of the nation's most popular actors to later years as one of its most beloved presidents. Known as the Great Communicator, Reagan sought wisdom from a wide-ranging set of political figures, philosophers, novelists, and poets, including Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, John F. Kennedy, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as Mohandas Gandhi, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Mark Twain, and Thomas Wolfe. While the number one "New York Times" bestselling "Reagan Diaries" detailed daily life inside the Oval Office, "The Notes" encapsulates a lifetime of reflections on work, marriage, and family in classic one-liners such as Flattery is what makes husbands out of bachelors and Money may not buy friends, but it will help you to stay in contact with your children. Reagan's own writing - his jokes, aphorisms, and insights into politics and life - is often surprising and reveals a view of the president that has rarely before been seen. Historic, illuminating, and deeply captivating, "The Notes" is a remarkable collection of the thoughts of one of a beloved American President.
The fascinating and often riveting private journal entries of Rev. Ronald Reagan as he traveled the world on various mission trips. Seeking to do his part in fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ to "go and make disciples of all the nations," Rev. Reagan goes into great detail as he shares many accounts of ministering, acceptance, and opposition while being "driven by the spirit."

Includes the State of the Union Addresses (1982 -88) of President Ronald Reagan as well as the Constitution of the United States of America and the U. S. Bill of Rights. Ronald Wilson Reagan was the 40th President of the United States (1981-1989) and the 33rd Governor of California (1967-1975). As president, Reagan implemented new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics," were aimed at controlling inflation and spurring economic growth through tax cuts, reduced business regulation, and reduced growth in government spending. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against labor unions, and ordered military actions in Grenada. He was reelected in a landslide in 1984, proclaiming it was "Morning in America." His second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, such as the ending of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya, and the revelation of the Iran-Contra affair. Reagan supported anti-Communist movements worldwide and spent his first term forgoing the strategy of detente by ordering a massive military buildup in an arms race with the USSR. Reagan negotiated with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, culminating in the INF Treaty and the decrease of both countries' nuclear arsenals. Reagan left office in 1989. In 1994, the former president disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease earlier in the year; he died ten years later at the age of 93. He has been rated highly by scholars in rankings of U.S. Presidents.

Just 10 days ago, after months of debate and deadlock, the bipartisan Commission on Social Security accomplished the seemingly impossible. Social security, as some of us had warned for so long, faced disaster. I, myself, have been talking about this problem for almost 30 years. As 1983 began, the system stood on the brink of bankruptcy, a double victim of our economic ills. First, a decade of rampant inflation drained its reserves as we tried to protect beneficiaries from the spiraling cost of living. Then the recession and the sudden end of inflation withered the expanding wage base and increasing revenues the system needs to support the 36 million Americans who depend on it.
Whatever the occasion for the speeches presented here, which span seven years of my presidency, I have always tried to speak plainly about the enduring values upon which this nation was founded: faith in God, commitment to democracy, the quest for peace, limited government, reliance on the free enterprise system, and an unyielding belief in human freedom as the essential key to human achievement and the progress of mankind. I believe as fervently in these core values today as I did when I spoke to the nation on the eve of the 1980 presidential election, and years earlier, in 1964, when I first spoke nationally on behalf of another candidate for President, my good friend Barry Coldwater. I have sometimes been accused of being overly optimistic in my speeches about America and the future, but I make no apologies. Faith and freedom are not wishful thinking, but, quite simply, the most powerful forces in the world today. Democracy, freedom, economic opportunity---these are not uniquely American concepts, but ideas that lift the hearts and compel the allegiance of peoples throughout the world. And they are the lodestars that have guided my presidency. Achievement, after all, can only be built on aspiration and hope, not pessimism. Seven years ago, when I first took office as President, who would have believed that we could sign an agreement with the Soviets not only to stop building additional nuclear weapons, but indeed to eliminate some of them? Yet, last year we took that important step with the signing of the INF Treaty. This truly historic treaty eliminates---for the first time---an entire class of U.S. and Soviet nuclear weapons. Realism is essential, but democracy rests upon the rockof hope, the belief in a future of greater freedom and opportunity for succeeding generations. When the children of the world turn their faces to the light, let them see a sunrise. We owe them no less. I offer this collection of speeches as the expression of my belief in the values at work in the United States and the world today, and of my vision of a world of peace, democracy and individual freedom that millions of men and women are striving daily to build. As I so often end my speeches---thank you and God bless you. Ronald Reagan President of the United States of America

Ronald Reagan was a prolific letter writer his entire life and his letters reveal a hidden life as a writer of power, grace, and astonishing productivity. They also reveal a man who treasured his friends, took his critics head-on, and loved his family deeply. Now, in what may be the most important collection of Reagan's writings yet, the editors draw from exclusive access to Reagan's complete collection of letters, numbering in the tens of thousands, to show that he was one of the last century's greatest correspondents as well. From his youthful days of financial struggle, through the Hollywood years, his two terms as California governor, and to the extraordinary two-term presidency, Reagan never stopped writing friends, family, supporters, and even opponents. This definitive collection is skilfully edited and annotated by Kiron K. Skinner, Annelise Anderson, and Martin Anderson, and it will be must reading for anyone interested in America's 40th president and the times in which he lived. |
