February 6, 2011, marks the one hundredth anniversary of Ronald Reagan''s birth. Known as "the Great Communicator," Ronald Reagan combined the best of small-town values and remarkable virtues with the eloquence and charm that came from a life spent in the public eye. From his early days, Reagan was a leader, whether saving lives as a lifeguard or demonstrating for students'' rights as a college undergraduate. His career as a sports broadcaster and later as a leading man in Hollywood paved the way for a career in politics. As governor of California, Reagan earned the respect of world leaders and the American public. But it was as president of the United States that his strength of character, leadership, and love of country were best displayed. His eight years in the Oval Office ushered in remarkable change domestically and brought international peace, prosperity, and freedom. A visual celebration of all that is Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan: 100 Years is the official centennial publication for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. Inspiring and uplifting, it is a fitting homage to one of America''s greatest legends. A foreword by former Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr., distinguished politician and personal friend of the Reagans, completes this handsome volume, making it a must-have nostalgic tribute to the life and times of the man who led our nation and inspired the world.

书名原文:Ronald Reagan:an American life

Many remember the wit and intellect of Ronald Reagan, "The Great Communicator." The fearless leader''s firm grasp on objective morality, optimistic attitude, and "Reaganomics" helped to guide the United States through the economic "stagflation," high unemployment, and the Cold War that were in place when he came into office in 1981. Through this collection of quotes compiled by John E. Wade II and Daniel P. Agatino and edited by Charlotte Livingston, the authors aim to give today''s reader an understanding of Reagan''s knowledge and sanguinity. Included in this compilation are Reagan''s insightful observations covering topics such as God, the economy, humor, pop culture, and politics. More than one hundred quotes are pulled from some of the president''s most renowned speeches-from his first inaugural address to his speech announcing he had Alzheimer''s disease in November of 1994. Paired with each quote are author commentary, amplifying the president''s words and applying them to the twenty-first century.
