THE REAGAN DIARIES - Edited by DOUGLAS BRINKLEY (Hardcover

Description: PRIVILEGED PEEK INTO THE REAGAN WHITE HOUSE THROUGHOUT HIS TWO TERMS AS 40th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Ronald Reagan recorded each day in his neat and easily legible hand-writing the events in his official and private life and his impressions and observations about them. It is a unique and fascinating diary, a valuable historical document providing an insight into some of the significant developments of our time - among them the President's relationship with Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev which led to the end of the Cold War. But it wasn't only world and national events that occupied President Reagan's attention. He also wrote movingly about his love for his wife Nancy and for the comfort he received from his faith. Mr Reagan, one of the most popular Presidents of recent times, emerges from these pages as warm, sharp and witty. It is a riveting read. THE FIRST EDITION BOOK THAT WE OFFER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, an intact dust-jacket that has not been price-clipped but has a slight wrinkle at the top of the spine (it cannot be seen in the picture above). There are no signs of previous ownership such as an inscription of bookplate, and it has a square, firm binding. The book appears to have been unread since publication in 2007. It has numerous private and official photographs, nearly all of them in color. In addition to a general index, the book provides a useful glossary of the many people who passed through the president's life in both official and personal capacities. This is a recommended read for anyone who wants an understanding and insight into how the United States and the wider world got to the situation where it finds itself today. It was edited by historian Douglas Brinkley.
