A collection of the personal writings of former President Ronald Reagan, for his weekly radio addresses to the nation. Includes samples of Reagan's own writing on the inside covers of the text and on the companion Web site, which also features voice recordings of Reagan reading from his writings.
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.
