The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan invites you to revisit the words of our fortieth president-a man who left an indelible mark on the world over the course of his eight years in office. From humble beginnings, Ronald Reagan struggled through the Great Depression and carved out successful careers as a radio broadcaster and Hollywood star before entering the world of public service at the age of fifty-three. But politics was a lifelong passion for Reagan, and by the time he launched his political career in the mid-sixties, he had developed a clear vision of what was needed to revitalize America and to restore the country's confidence. Both as the governor of California and as the president of the United States, Reagan's unparalleled ability to communicate his vision to millions of Americans and to maintain a keen focus on the goals of his administration have been described as leadership at its best.
