An American Life: The Autobiography
By Ronald Reagan
Primary sources are the best background for the history of a country or the biography of an individual. In "An American Life" Ronald Reagan traces his own humble roots and fires off of anecdotes about the influences that would make him one of the great presidents of the modern age.
Reagan was known as "The Great Communicator". He amply displays his talent in this book where he reveals his fundamental political and economic philosophy in an understandable and entertaining format. From his eventful childhood and through his meteoric Hollywood career he gathered experiences that confirmed his innate conservative notions. Born a Democrat, he once said that he did not leave the Democratic Party. It left him. Indeed, it did move on to become the seat of liberalism, even as Reagan would grow to become one of the greatest of Conservatives.
"An American Life" is an updated edition of the original work which was released in 1996. It gathers his thoughts and words in the period after his presidency and before he was stricken with Alzheimer's. Ronald Reagan was a formative force in the advancement of conservatism. Understanding his thinking and his life is important for anyone hoping to understand the movement.
