Presented is a first trade edition of Ronald Reagan’s An American Life. Published by Simon and Schuster in 1990, this book has a bookplate signed by Ronald Regan affixed to the half title page. The book is presented in the publisher’s original blue cloth backstrip over red boards, with the front board blind stamped and the spine titled in gilt. The book has its first edition, unclipped white dust jacket, featuring Ronald Regan on the front.
Released almost two years after Reagan left office, An American Life tracks Reagan’s story from childhood through his presidency. Taking the reader behind the scenes of his extraordinary career, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the life and leadership of our 40th President.
Ronald Reagan is one of the most well-remembered presidents of the modern era. Originally a Chicago Cubs sportscaster and later actor, Reagan switched career paths to eventually become America’s 40th president holding office from 1981 to 1989. Nicknamed “The Great Communicator” for his effective oration skills, Reagan’s presidency was defined by his foreign policy. Initiatives such as the build-up of weapons during the Cold War, the Reagan Doctrine, and the Strategic Defense Initiative would all be cited as defining characteristics of the Reagan administration.
The book reached number eight on The New York Times' Best Seller list. “What comes through is a picture of a warm, compassionate man, thoroughly sincere, highly mission-oriented, and patriotic to the core…” ( Raymond J. Saulnier, Presidential Studies Quarterly, 1992).
