The Greatest Communicator: What Ronald Reagan Taught Me about Politics, Leadership, and Life de Richard B. Wirthlin

The Greatest Communicator: What Ronald Reagan Taught Me about Politics, Leadership, and Life

Autor Richard B. Wirthlin Wynton C. Hall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 sep 2004
The outpouring of grief and heartfelt tributes following Ronald Reagan s death demonstrated the love and admiration people still have for our nation s 40th president. Now, in this affectionate memoir, Reagan s chief political strategist and friend for 36 years offers a fascinating close–up portrait of the Great Communicator. Taking us inside the 1980 and 1984 presidential campaigns and beyond, Dick Wirthlin shares illuminating anecdotes, off–the–record remarks, and private moments that reveal the true Ronald Reagan. Through it all, Wirthlin points out the unique qualities and talents that made Reagan such a strong leader–and such a great communicator. For anyone who has fond memories of the late president, this admiring reminiscence brilliantly conjures up the strong values, gregarious charm, and all–American optimism that made Ronald Reagan great.

Descriere

Advance Praise "For twenty years, Ronald Reagan relied upon Dick Wirthlin as his pollster, chief political strategist, and increasingly, as his trusted friend. Dick has waited until now to tell the inside story, but the wait has been more than worth it."
David Gergen
"A lot of people claim to have been in Reagan’s inner circle; Dick Wirthlin truly was. . . . must–reading for anyone who admired President Reagan."
Lyn Nofziger
"A must–read for anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of President Reagan’s ability to communicate and how he accomplished so much."
Edwin Meese
"Dick Wirthlin was there at the beginning of the Ronald Reagan prairie fire that began with the speech for Barry Goldwater in 1964 and spread across the nation with the election to the presidency in 1980. . . . His recollections are a valuable part of the real history of the Reagan revolution."
Michael Deaver
"A window into the secrets of Reagan’s success . . . with a level of intimacy and grace that only comes from someone who was there from the beginning to see it from the inside."
James Carville
"Was anybody more important to the Reagan revolution than Dick Wirthlin?. . . The president trusted him, in fact, thought the world of him, as did so many of us who worked with him on three presidential campaigns and in the White House years. He has quite a story to tell."
Tony Dolan, author of the "Evil Empire" speech
"No one knew and understood Ronald Reagan the leader better than Dick Wirthlin . . . a smart and insightful book, indispensable to understanding Reagan."
Fred Barnes, executive editor, The Weekly Standard, and cohost, The Beltway Boys, FOX News
