A Life by Mamphela Ramphele. A Life, by Mamphela Ramphele, is reviewed.
Verlagsinfo: "The former president relates the story of his public and private life from his modest beginnings in the Midwest, through a distinguished film career, to a second career in politics. Ronald Reagan's account of that rise is told here with all the uncompromising candor, modesty, and wit that made him perhaps the most able communicator ever to occupy the White House, and also with the sense of drama of a gifted natural storyteller. He tells us, with warmth and pride, of his early years and of the elements that made him, in later life, a leader of such stubborn integrity, courage, and clear-minded optimism. Reading the account of this childhood, we understand how his parents, struggling to make ends meet despite family problems and the rigors of the Depression, shaped his belief in the virtues of American life - the need to help others, the desire to get ahead and to get things done, the deep trust in the basic goodness, values, and sense of justice of the American people - virtues that few presidents have expressed more eloquently than Ronald Reagan."
