Hidden in the archives of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for more than a decade, the writings contained in Regan In His Own Hand redefine the way we think about American history of the past quarter century and about the fortieth American president. Bu revealing an active mind wrestling with the problems of a sluggish economy, social pathologies, welfare reform and the Cold War struggle with the Soviet Union, these never before seen documents, many reproduced in his own handwriting, probe Regan to be both the visionary and intellectual powerhouse behind his administration's landmark policies.
