This book has been an integral part of my library for years. The author is a speechwriter--the one who wrote Reagan's "Berlin Wall" speech, in fact. He tells what he learned as a young man from Reagan--about marriage, integrity, attitude, and more. Excerpts from pivotal speeches are included, along with inside information about how advisors to the president tried to get him to hold back and how Reagan insisted on speaking the truth, even when it was unpopular.

Those of us who remember the Berlin Wall, and how the media howled at Reagan's speech, and how we later watched live TV footage of Germans walking through the wall they'd demolished, will appreciate this book.
