"Reagan in His Own Hand": A Review of the Book By Ronald Reagan
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of "Reagan, In His Own Hand: The Writings of Ronald Reagan That Reveal His Revolutionary Vision for America", a book containing numerous original essays of Ronald Reagan compiled by Kiron K. Skinner. The documents included in "Reagan, In His Own Hand" were written largely prior to his attaining the office of the President of the United States and, perhaps more so than any other writings, reflect Reagan's ideologies and personality. Comments on the writing habits of Reagan and how his compositions typically evolved from their original format on yellow legal pads to finished typewritten documents then sometimes retranscribed onto index cards for use in presentations. Emphasizes that these writings all merge to accomplish one thing, the dispellment of the inaccurate views which were held by many regarding the inner fortitude and strengths of Ronald Reagan. No additional sources are
listed.
