"I'm not sure when I was first dubbed "The Great Communicator," but I have always been proud of that title. If I have in any way earned it, I hope it is because I have always tried to speak from the heart to you, the American people. God bless you for the privilege of allowing me to do so." - Ronald Reagan, October 1994. "American has already succeeded where so many other historic attempts at freedom have failed. Already, we've made this cherished land the last best hope of mankind. It's up to us, in our generation, to carry on the hallowed task. It is up to us, however we may disagree on policies, to work together for progress and humanity so that our grandchildren, when they look back on us, can truly say that we not only preserved the flame of freedom, but cast its warmth and light further than those who came before us." - Remarks in New York City to the National Conference of Christians and Jews, March 23, 1982. "Here, in this unique collection of photographs and quotations, is a celebration of the warmth, wisdom, and humor of Ronald Reagan, one of America's most beloved Presidents. Through more than half a century of public life, Ronald Reagan spoke with consistency and contagious optimusm to the hearts and minds of the American people. His ability to inform, persuade, and inspire led to his reputation as "The Great Communicator." It enabled him to reinvigorate a weakened national pride, challenge America's adversaries, and convince a Democrat majority in Congress to pass his successful economic plans. As a radio, film, and television star, Governor of California, and President of the United States, Ronald Reagan spoke to Americans with enduring humor, and astonishing grace under pressure. Ronald Reagan: The Wisdom and Humor the The Great Communicator is the consummate treasure of his insights and unwavering beliefs, carefully selected from thousands of speeches and public appearances. It is a spirited tribute to one of this century's greatest personalities and political leaders." - from the inner front jacket flap.
