The book was not properly protected
I loved the book’s jacket photos of Reagan but mine came with a 2” tear in the jacket and the front of it was crumpled. Obviously it shifted around in the box, bubble wrapping the book would have prevented that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on a Great President
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    He is a President I never voted for, (I voted for Carter), but have learned how great he was and respect him. The liberals can't stand him, but now try to compare Obama to him. He was correct on so many things and understood the individual and was able to connect. The Democrats will continue to trash him and unlike the current occupant of the White House who is more concerned about his own well being. Reagan was a good man trying to do his best.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Warm. Reminiscent. Revealing.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    The WIT & WISDON OF RONALD REAGAN is warm, revealing and reminiscent of better days. Among this generation of politicians, Reagan shines all the more brightly as a leader of character, confidence, and common sense. Although the media vilified and derided him during his Presidency, America loved him.

    The book contains many well-known quips and quotes of "the Gipper" including some which shook the world: "...tear down this wall" and the "evil empire" speech. Others amused and delighted us. "Honey, I forgot to duck". Through it all, the President conducted himself with humility, grace, and wisdom.

    "Reaganonomics" was mocked by economists, liberals and the press. But it worked. The economic policies Reagan started with the 1982 tax cut and promoted through his two terms fueled unprecedented economic growth which is still driving the economy today.

    From foreign policy to fiscal policy, Reagan stands tall. History will remember Reagan as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. This book helps us remember why.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For my Dad
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I got this for my dad for Christmas I think...I got it a while ago.
    He loves it. He would come in to the living room laughing and holding the book and tells us his favorite little snippets. It has some quotes that even he hadn't heard before so that's pretty amazing.
    He still has it by his bedside table and I know he's finished it so I'm going to say its pretty amazing.
    What I have read of it too has been impressive. I love witty remarks (or "snarky come-backs") and Reagan was full of them. There are also some very important tid-bits in here. These small pieces of knowledge are out standing and need to be more well known. I don't want to get too political so I'll just say I think some of it, if taught properly, could actually help the US get itself together and leave it at that.

    I wish I had purchased a CD instead of the book...I would have loved to hear his voice once more. President Reagan had the most wonderful voice and a wit that no other president could match. His words of wisdom should be a must-read for everyone holding office, just to keep them humble and honorable. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thought? This book is a fun read, and will be read again and again.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    Those of us who lived through The Regan Years know what an icon is and what Regan brought to the office. This book gives the reader an insight into not only his political life, but his private life. Love him or not you will realize what made him tick. He lent the aspect of "Class" to the office giving people the chance to laugh with him and say "Right on". This book should become a classic.
