Book Reviews of Reagan: A Life In Letters
Book Review: Prepare to be Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who admire the late President Reagan, this book will be confirmation of his greatness - but it is particularly recommended to any fair-minded readers of the opposite persuasion who are open to having their prejudices challenged.
A man's true character will always come out in his personal correspondence. There he cannot hide behind speech-writers and image-makers. So those whose only ideas about the man come from the mainstream media - dominated by people who opposed his policies - may be surprised by this encounter with the real Ronald Reagan.
The man revealed in these letters is thoughtful, witty, genuinely interested in other people, and firm in his Christian faith and his political beliefs. Although distinctively American in all things, he is curiously reminiscent of an English gentleman of the old school, especially in his consideration for others. At times, he seems quaintly old fashioned in his manners. Many of the later letters are obviously the work of a very busy man, but, when he had the opportunity, he clearly enjoyed taking the time and trouble to compose a letter properly - a lost art today.
This was given to me as a birthday present, and I value it as one of the best gifts I have ever had. I often dip into it, just to read a letter or two, especially when I am depressed by what I see around me or in public life at all levels, because it reminds me that decency is still possible in both, even in this modern world.
