Thank you Mr. President

Remembering ReaganThis is the second time I have purchased this wonderful book. After the recent election I decided to read thoroughly my copy of this magnificent picture and narrative book to remind myself of what a REAL leader can do in the face of huge challenges (stagflation from the Carter administration, the Cold War, Berlin Wall, creeping Communism in Central America, and spineless leaders in Washington, both the Democrats and many if not most of the Republicans). I was so cheered by focusing on the narrative and analyzing the pictures, instead of my usual cursery page-turning, that I decided to buy a duplicate copy for a writer/friend who is a Republican, active in State politics. My friend was in need of some cheering up the same as I had been. So this purchase was a gift to him. He also was delighted with it and now considers it a family heirloom that he will treasure and pass on to his heirs as part of what our American history and heritage is all about. This is a 5-Star picker-upper from PPED (Post-Presidential Election Depression). Warren Rosenbaum, (Temporarily in Pleasant Grove UT, formerly from Fresno, Calif.)

A Beautiful Tribute and Resource for learning about Reagan

The stature and legacy of the Presidency of Ronald Reagan continues to grow and strengthen. His critics went into apoplectic fits when he won the Presidency, they sputtered in consternation during his two terms, and continue to rage against him even after his death. Many books have been written about him and trees continue to be felled to publish new books about him. Some of the books are good, but many present a false image of Reagan the man and the President. The problem is that the rising generation has no direct memory of his time in office and is held captive by the information passed on to them in the various media. This beautiful and well done book should be provided to every young person so they can get a proper notion of what was so special about Reagan and what he accomplished. Unfortunately, most of what they get in the popular media is the derision and contumely smeared on the name of Reagan. Even some who claim to support the Reagan legacy are co-opting the glow of the name without being factual about what they are supporting. "Remembering Reagan" is full of great images that help us remember what a special time those two terms were. The text is honest about what happened and all the issues that filled his eight years serving our country as Commander-in-Chief. When you see the great pictures here you will wonder why the media relies on such weak pictures of Reagan. Well, we know why, but their biased agenda becomes that much more obvious after looking through this volume. I would be happy to have my children learn about President Reagan from this book. It may not be the only book you want them to read or read yourself, but I contend that you won't have a complete picture of this man until you also go through this fine book. It is here you will get a sense of the energy, strength, presence, stature, dedication, quiet wisdom, and vast ability of one of our great Presidents.

Fabulous! Nostalgic!

I have been enough lucky and privilged to get the book in Simi Valley at Reagan Library Gift Shop! Then I have been asked by many friends of mine to get the book and they are all so thrilled and happy to have the book. If you failed to get some Reagan videos, then this book should enter your library and will give you some brief impression about those video titles. The life of President is fully illustrated and the book is just a beauty for your coffee table. Many friends of mine come and look through the pages and they become very thrilled when they turn over the last page. I am wondered that the book is available online as it was not before. So, do not waste time and get it NOW!!!
