Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan

by Michael Reagan, Jim Denney (With)

Overview

"I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." —Ronald Reagan

Noted political commentator Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan and first wife Jane Wyman, has traveled across America, giving speeches and meeting the public. Time and time again, people tell him how much they love and miss his father, and what his presidency meant to them. In a world where role models are few and far between, Ronald Reagan’s legacy stands strong.

In Lessons My Father Taught Me , Michael Reagan looks back over his years with his father and reflects on what he has learned from the greatest man he has ever known—and one of the greatest men the world has known.

When Michael was growing up, his father would drive him out to his ranch. There Ronald Reagan taught Michael how to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and much more. As they drove together or did chores together, Michael’s father told him stories and taught him about life, love, family, faith, success, and leadership. Michael didn’t fully appreciate those lessons at the time, but years later he remembered—and he understood.

Now, Michael Reagan shares his father’s wisdom and experience in this inspiring book.

This is a very insightful book. I remember many events of the Reagan presidency, but here’s an insider’s account of behind-the-scenes happenings. I hadn’t known Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman lost a premature daughter, which was a contributing factor to their divorce. I remember the flap about Reagan taking naps, and was amused to learn he cultivated that image to lull opponents into underestimating him. In the years after World War II, communists tried to control Hollywood in a strike. Reagan was one of three reps for the Screen Actors Guild to negotiate. That led to his primary motivation to be president—so he could fight and defeat Soviet communism. Michael Reagan believes his father didn’t win the Republican nomination in 1976 because none of his allies—Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and others—were in place. I received a free copy for Netgalley for my honest opinion.
