Believe it or not Ronald Reagan has had some 300 books written about him over the years, far more than any of his contemporaries, or our former heads of state. Of course, history tells us why, and we should not be surprised.
Still, having read perhaps 5 or more books over the years on this president, most favorable, a couple not, I have come to the conclusion that the best book about his days in office is a book that I’d surely like to recommend to you. The book is;
“Reagan’s Secret War; The Untold Story of His Fight to Save the World Fromm Nuclear Disaster,” by Martin Anderson and Annelise Anderson; Crown Publishers, New York, NY (2009); ISBN-13: 978-0307238610
The Andersons just did a superb job on their authorship of this work and they explain that despite what many people might think; Ronald Reagan was not just acting the part, he was playing the part, fully engaged and very astute in his decision making. Reagan took lots of notes and knew very much what he was doing.
All the other authors of all the other works that came before this one, are quite in adequate compared to this book. As the Anderson’s state; “One can only learn the reality from going through the documents, 1,000s of letters, and hand-written notes that were left behind,” and that is just what these research writers have done.
They tell about the negotiations with the Russians and how no one pulled this president’s strings. He had lots of experts, and he listen to all of them. The book describes how he won the cold war in 1988. And how he spelled out his plans as early as 1963 in speeches, and writings in personal journal. This is an amazing book and quells the critics as well it should.
