Publisher's Summary
Now, in this dramatic and revealing memoir, Ronald Reagan recounts both his life and his beliefs with uncompromising candor and his familiar wit. He discusses his decision to run for president, historic meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev and other heads of state, his frustrations in dealing with an often hostile Congress, his unshakable faith in the American people, and his enduring love for Nancy, who would always be his First Lady. In a moving passage, President Reagan also speaks frankly about the assassination attempt on his life and its effects on him and his family.
An American Life is a richly detailed, definitive account of a great and historic presidency and of a unique American life, from the man who restored America's confidence and strength and shaped the future of the world.

"Freedom is Worth the Struggle"
Ronald Reagan details the struggle of those who would take our Freedom away and those who intrust it to us. We must struggle to remain Free. Reagan believed in people, unlike those who tie us up with laws and regulations. Listen to him and follow his example.

"entertaining"
A good autobiography read by President Reagan, this brings back memories of this great and personable leader. I smiled and laughed and got misty during this brief look back at the Great Communicator.

"very informational"
I am fairly new into the whole political scene. I always liked what I heard about Reagan. This confirmed my original thoughts about him and made me feel more comfortable with the way things are now. Our country has always been unstable... Either from communist Russia or progressives internally now. Great book!

"Where Are Presidents Like Reagan?"
This is an absolute must read. It's always best the hear the author read his own book. Reagan tells it like it is. It's especially good to hear about the true stories as we already heard the lamestream media give its side. A must listen to.

"A great leader who is sorely missed"
The typical rule of thumb in staying away from authors who narrate their own books doesn’t apply to this writing. Hearing the calm and soothing voice of President Regan reminded me that there was once an age of reason. A great leader who is sorely missed.

"We need more leaders like Reagan."
What other book might you compare An American Life to and why?In terms of Ronald Reagan, Peggy Noonan's book "When Character Was King: A Story of Ronald Reagan" is a must read.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Win one for the Gipper!
Any additional comments?If you read this and Peggy Noonan's book "When Character Was King: A Story of Ronald Reagan" objectively, I don't know how you can come away with anything short of a great admiration for the man.
