Book excerpt: With twenty-eight speeches spanning the Reagan era, The Greatest Speeches of Ronald Reagan provides readers with a direct source into President Reagan's profound belief in God, freedom, individualism, limited government, and his great love for his country. Ronald Wilson Reagan, the fortieth president of the United States, was also one of America's greatest orators. Known as "The Great Communicator," he shared his vision of the greatness of America while guiding the nation to an unprecedented prosperity and renewed vigor. When President Reagan assumed the presidency in 1981, America's economy ebbed with 12 percent inflation and 8 million unemployed. Reagan's predecessor spoke of a national "malaise". Abroad, America's adversary, the Soviet Union, was expanding its influence. The Soviet Union's nuclear weapons capability surpassed that of the United States and previous nuclear arms treaties were failures. President Reagan's goals were simple: To reduce the size of the federal government Lower taxes Stabilize the economy Restore the belief of the American people in their government Win the Cold War When President Reagan left office in 1989, these goals had been achieved: Americans were enjoying the longest uninterrupted span of prosperity in the nation's history. After a massive military build-up, the largest in peacetime, President Reagan had negotiated a nuclear arms treaty that greatly reduced the threat of nuclear war. By expanding the military, he achieved peace through strength and set the stage for the demise of the Soviet Union. From the time he arrived on the political scene in 1964-throughout his presidency and beyond, Ronald Reagan used his speeches to inspire and reinvigorate America. When he spoke, Reagan said he was preaching a sermon. The American people saw his vision of America and his dreams for the future, and they overwhelmingly responded; he was re-elected in 1984 by the largest number of electoral votes in the nation's history. In this collection of twenty-eight speeches spanning the Reagan era, with an Introduction from his son, Michael Reagan, you may read for yourself his inspirational sermons. From his first speech in the political arena in 1964 to his Last Letter to America, informing Americans of his Alzheimer's disease, Ronald Reagan's words show a profound belief in God, freedom, individualism, limited government, and his great love for his country.

Download or read book The Education of Ronald Reagan written by Thomas W. Evans and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-29 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1964, Ronald Reagan gave a televised speech in support of Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. "The Speech," as it has come to be known, helped launch Ronald Reagan as a leading force in the American conservative movement. However, less than twenty years earlier, Reagan was a prominent Hollywood liberal, the president of the Screen Actors Guild, and a fervent supporter of FDR and Harry Truman. While many agree that Reagan's anticommunism grew out of his experiences with the Hollywood communists of the late 1940s, the origins of his conservative ideology have remained obscure. Based on a newly discovered collection of private papers as well as interviews and corporate documents, The Education of Ronald Reagan offers new insights into Reagan's ideological development and his political ascendancy. Thomas W. Evans links the eight years (1954-1962) in which Reagan worked for General Electric—acting as host of its television program, GE Theater, and traveling the country as the company's public-relations envoy-to his conversion to conservatism. In particular, Evans reveals the profound influence of GE executive Lemuel Boulware, who would become Reagan's political and ideological mentor. Boulware, known for his tough stance against union officials and his innovative corporate strategies to win over workers, championed the core tenets of modern American conservatism-free-market fundamentalism, anticommunism, lower taxes, and limited government. Building on the ideas and influence of Boulware, Reagan would soon begin his rise as a national political figure and an icon of the American conservative movement.
Download or read book Tear Down This Wall written by Romesh Ratnesar and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 12, 1987, Ronald Reagan addressed a crowd of 20,000 people in West Berlin in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. The words he delivered that afternoon would become among the most famous in presidential history. "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate," Reagan said. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall!" In this riveting and fast-paced book, Romesh Ratnesar provides an account of how Reagan arrived at his defining moment and what followed from it. The book is based on interviews with numerous former Reagan administration officials and American and German eyewitnesses to the speech, as well as recently declassified State Department documents and East German records of the president's trip. Ratnesar provides new details about the origins of Reagan's speech and the debate within the administration about how to issue the fateful challenge to Gorbachev. Tear Down This Wall re-creates the charged atmosphere surrounding Reagan's visit to Berlin and explores the speech's role in bringing about the fall of the Berlin Wall less than two years later. At the heart of the story is the relationship between two giants of the late twentieth century: Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. Departing from the view that Reagan "won" the Cold War, Ratnesar demonstrates that both Reagan and Gorbachev played indispensable roles in bringing about the end of the U.S.-Soviet rivalry. It was the trust that Reagan and Gorbachev built in each other that allowed them finally to overcome the suspicions that had held their predecessors back. Calling on Gorbachev to tear down the Wall, in Reagan's mind, might actually encourage him to do it. Reagan's speech in Berlin was more than a good sound bite. Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we can now see the speech as the event that marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War. Elegant and dramatic, Tear Down This Wall is the definitive account of one of the most memorable speeches in recent history and a reminder of the power of a president's words to change the world.
