Synopsis
A special assistant to the president during the height of the Reagan era, Peggy Noonan worked with him, and with then vice-president Bush, on some of their most famous and memorable speeches. Now, in her thoroughly engaging and unanimously acclaimed memoir, Noonan shows us the world behind the words. Her sharp and vivid portraits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George Bush, Donald Regan, and a host of Washington's movers and shakers are rendered in her inimitable, witty prose. And her priceless account of what it was like to be a speechwriter among bureaucrats, and a woman in the last bastion of male power, makes this a Washington memoir that breaks the mold--as spirited, sensitive and thoughtful as Peggy Noonan herself.

From the Back Cover
"An engaging book, the story of how a...talented young person literally wrote her way into a previously all-male domain."--The Washington Post Book World
"Nancy Reagan had her turn, Larry Speakes spoke out and Donald Regan put it all on the record. Now comes Peggy Noonan with a speechwriter's view of the Reagan White House, and it may be the best one of all."--Associated Press
"Noonan has written the funniest, most richly textured, nervously self-effacing and deftly observed political memoir likely to come out of the 1980s."--Time
"Compelling...Terrific...Easily the best Reagan memoir so far...'Working Girl' meets 'Broadcast News' meets 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.'"--The Boston Sunday Globe
