The Reagan Diaries Extended Selections Audiobook Summary

During his two terms as the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded, by hand, his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine day-to-day occurrences of his presidency. Now, nearly two decades after he left office, this remarkable record–the only daily Presidential diary in American history–is available for the first time.

Edited by historian Douglas Brinkley, The Reagan Diaries provides a striking insight into one of this nation’s most important presidencies and sheds new light on the character of a true American leader. Whether he was in his White House residence study or aboard Air Force One, each night Reagan wrote about the events of his day, which often included his relationships with other world leaders and the unforgettable moments that defined the era.

Seldom before has the American public been given access to the unfiltered experiences and opinions of a President in his own words. To read these diaries–filled with Reagan’s trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor–is to gain a unique understanding of one of the most beloved occupants of the Oval Office in our nation’s history.

An amazing insight into a great President.

Worth everyone's time. Not because he is some sort of God or perfect human, but because there is a vast wealth of history in these pages.

History can be read from a number of perspectives, but there's nothing like reading it first hand. Other authors can provide their perspectives of the Reagan presidency, and interpret the president's words and actions, but this abridged review of Reagan's diary gives you a look at history in the President's own words. This is an abridged selection, but covers most of the truly significant aspects from Reagan's term of office. Very insightful, informative, and interesting, and an excellent review of what took place during those years.

As a child of the 80s, Reagan was the first president I really remember. So perhaps it's nostalgia for me but I truly enjoyed listening to this book. The last CD containing his actual speeches in his own voice moved me to tears more than once. His love and affection for his wife and his country and his desire to do the right thing is inspiring. This is the America I hold dear. This is the president against which all others should be measured.
