Ronald Reagan

The release of this title in 2011 marks 100 years since he was born and 30 years since he began his time as president of America. This beautifully illustrated book commemorates the life and presidency of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who has gained in popularity in recent years; he often now ranks highly in public opinion polls about US Presidents. Text and captions are by Peter Robinson who was special assistant and speechwriter to Reagan during his presidency.

It also includes six annotated landmark speeches, including "Remarks on East-West Relations at the Brandenburg Gate" (1987).
