Reagan's letters are a political and historical treasure trove. Many of Reagan's handwritten letters are among the most thoughtful, charming, and moving documents he produced. Long letter to his daughter Patti and son Ron Jr.; long running correspondence with old friends; heartfelt advice on love and marriage; fond memories of famous friends from Hollywood and more.
Revealed here for the first time is a running correspondence with Richard Nixon, begun 1959 and continuing until shortly before Nixon's death. Letters to key supporters reveal that Reagan was thinking of the presidency from the mid-1960s; that missile defense was of interest to him as early as the 1970s; and that few details of his campaigns or policies escaped his notice. Hardcover, 934 pages.
