#1 New York Times Bestseller“Reading these diaries, Americans will find it easier to understand how Reagan did what he did for so long . . . They paint a portrait of a president who was engaged by his job and had a healthy perspective on power.”—Jon Meacham, Newsweek During his two terms as the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan kept a daily diary in which he recorded his innermost thoughts and observations on the extraordinary, the historic, and the routine occurrences of his presidency. To read these diaries―now compiled into one volume by noted historian Douglas Brinkley and filled with Reagan’s trademark wit, sharp intelligence, and humor―is to gain a unique understanding of one of our nation’s most fascinating leaders.
Ronald Reagan’s The Notes offers a unique glimpse into the thoughts of the fortieth president, showcasing the writers and thinkers who inspired him. Compiled by the Ronald Reagan Foundation, it features Reagan’s writings alongside his favorite quotes, proverbs, and excerpts from speeches, poetry, and literature. This collection reveals a man deeply engaged with arts, culture, and politics, from his days as a popular actor to his time as a beloved president. Known as the “Great Communicator,” Reagan drew wisdom from a diverse array of figures, including Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Mohandas Gandhi, and Mark Twain. While the bestselling Reagan Diaries provide a detailed account of his daily life in the Oval Office, The Notes captures a lifetime of reflections on work, marriage, and family through memorable one-liners like “Flattery is what makes husbands out of bachelors” and “Money may not buy friends, but it will help you to stay in contact with your children.” Reagan’s own writing—filled with jokes, aphorisms, and insights—offers a surprising perspective on the president, revealing facets of his character that are rarely explored. Historic and illuminating, this collection presents the thoughts of one of America’s most cherished leaders.
