DESCRIPTION :
Envisioned as the official centennial publication of Ronald Reagan's birth, "Ronald Reagan: A Tribute to an American Hero" is an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most beloved icons. More than a political chronicle of the man who would become the fortieth U.S. president, this handsome volume is a visual tribute to Ronald Reagan's life - from his humble childhood to the twilight years of his life, and everything in between. Organized chronologically, each chapter contains a brief introduction that places the collection of photographs into historical and personal context and sheds new light on the character of a true American leader. Personal memorabilia from the Reagan archives, including excerpts from well-known and lesser-known speeches, national radio program broadcasts, quotable quips, and anecdotes are highlighted throughout the book, capturing Mr. Reagan's voice and providing intimate insight into the life and times of this remarkable man. A visual celebration of all that is Ronald Reagan, "Ronald Reagan: A Tribute to an American Hero" is inspiring and uplifting, a fitting homage to one of America's greatest legends. While several books have been published on Ronald Reagan, this is the first heavily illustrated volume that both celebrates the man behind the presidency and coincides with the 2011 centennial celebration. A perfect memento for those centennial celebrations, this book will only deepen the appreciation felt by Reagan's many admirers, who miss the great leader more with each passing day.
