As an icon of the twentieth century, Ronald Reagan has earned a place among the most popular U. S. presidents. In this compelling firsthand account of Reagan's presidency, Peter J. Wallison, former White House counsel to President Reagan, asserts that Reagan tool office with a fully developed strategy for governing that was unique among modern presidents. 'I am not a great man,' Reagan once said, 'just committed to great ideas.' Wallison shows how Reagan's stubborn and unyielding attachment to certain key principles--brilliantly communicated in his speeches--created a cohesive administration and revived the spirit of the nation. Reagan limited his personal efforts only to those issues he considered central to his presidency, choosing to delegate to his cabinet and staff those issues he considered secondary. This leadership style contributed to Reagan's accomplishments and missteps--and drew criticism from his detractors.
