Praise for The Reagan Diaries

“A portrait of a president who was engaged by his job and had a healthy perspective on power.” —Jon Meacham, Newsweek

“Reagan the diarist is at home with himself, unself-consciously comfortable. . . . Two things run through the diaries like a thread: One is a kind of gee-whiz everyman’s delight in finding himself in such interesting and enjoyable circumstances; the other is his love for and reliance on Nancy.” —Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times

“It’s amazing what nuggets of information you can unearth deep within a book as jampacked as The Reagan Diaries.” —Walter Pincus, The Washington Post
