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

Autor Dick Wirthlin, Wynton C. Hall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2005
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

Acclaim for The Greatest Communicator "The Reagan presidency had many participants and has had many biographers. Dick Wirthlin has earned his place among the best of them. . . . Extremely readable, nicely told."
The Washington Times
"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 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
