During his eight years as the 40th President of the United States‚ Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary‚ in which he recorded his innermost thoughts and observations. The handwritten diaries have been seen by only a few people to date‚ and they share Reagan's personal insights into the extraordinary‚ the historic‚ and the routine day-to-day events of his Presidency. "When we left Sacramento‚ we felt the time passed so quickly‚ we could hardly remember the eight years‚" said Nancy Reagan. "When Ronnie became president‚ he wanted to write it all down so we could remember these special times."
From his first inauguration to weekends at Camp David to the end of the Cold War‚ these Presidential diaries are the most detailed in American history‚ filled with Reagan's trademark wit‚ sharp intelligence‚ and humor. They offer the deep warmth of his voice‚ while shedding a new light on the character of a true American leader. To read these diaries is to gain a unique understanding of the Oval Office and one of the greatest presidents in our nation's history.
